Recipe Tips

  • Slice the beef thin so it cooks fast and stays tender.
  • Marinating for at least 30 minutes gives the beef better flavor and texture.
  • Use a hot pan or wok so the beef browns instead of steaming.
  • Do not overcook the onions and mushrooms; you want them soft but still flavorful.
  • Add a small splash of water if the sauce gets too thick.
