Notes From the Method

Slice the beef thin across the grain.

Sear in batches.

Do not overcook the beef.

Have everything ready before you start.

Common Substitutions & Variations

• If you only have ground ginger, a quarter-teaspoon for each tablespoon of fresh is the ratio usually given; it tastes warmer and less bright than the fresh root.
• An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the stand-in usually given when you are out of fresh garlic; it will not brown the same way, and it burns easily, so add it with the liquid.

Storing and Reheating

Keeps in the fridge for 2 days. Reheat in a hot pan or the microwave until hot all the way through.
