📝 Recipe Tips:
- Tender Beef: Slice your beef against the grain for the most tender bites.
- Vegetarian Option: Replace beef with tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth for a plant-based version.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
