Stir Fry:

  • Place steak in between two pieces of wax paper and place on cutting board. Using a mallet or a heavy skillet proud out to 1/2”- 1/4”.

  • Slice meat into slivers about 1/2” thick and 2” long.
  • Sprinkle meat all over with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  • Using a spoon remove your vegetables from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
