Notes

  • Make this recipe gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Allow one hour to marinate the beef. It can be done in half and hour but will have slightly less flavor. It can be marinated for up to 4 hours.
  • Leftovers will keep well for up to 4 days and can be reheated in the skillet to serve.
