For best results, slice the beef very thinly against the grain. This will ensure tenderness. Feel free to adjust the amount of ginger and sweet and sour sauce to your personal preference. Serve with steamed broccoli or other stir-fried vegetables for a more complete meal.

02
StepAdd the sliced steak to the mixture and toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated. (2 minutes)
03
StepCover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or ideally up to overnight, for maximum flavor infusion. (30 minutes - overnight)
