    How to slice meat thin?

    Similar to marinated tri tip, you want to slice beef against the grain. Slice beef into 2-inch strips.

    I like to buy steak that is ยผ inch thick from the store then slice that into strips.

    How to store beef with garlic sauce:

    Store any leftover beef with garlic sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    You can eat this with or without rice/noodles.

    How long do leftovers last?

    Beef with Garlic sauce is best eaten right away, but if stored properly can last at least 3 days in the refrigerated.

    Substitutions


    Gluten free: Sub soy sauce with coconut aminos and leave out the hoisin.

    Meat: Use either flank steak or top sirloin for this recipe.

    Veggies: You can use no veggies or lots of different veggies in this recipe. I like cooking up broccoli, corn, green beans, or zucchini, if I have it on hand.

    Sauce: If you want to try a sweet and spicy sauce over this meat, make some of my Gyoza Dipping Sauce and pour over the dish!
