This is one of my families favorite meals. Do you think it would work to make the beef, freeze it, and then make the sauce and reheat the beef? I’m not sure, but it would make it possible for us to have it more often!
Yes, that will definitely work!
Yo! This recipe was amazing. Took a chance because I liked what I saw mixed with the ingredients and I was blown away. Definitely making this again and again…
Awesome!
Glad you liked it Adam 🙂

Yes, if it’s top sirloin or similar cut of beef. Hope this helps!
Okay, thank you so much po! 😊
You’re welcome Bea! Take care!
How much oil? I own a wok but never use it
Hi Carlee,
The amount of oil use to fry the beef depends on the size of the pan or wok. I used a large frying pan and used about a cup of vegetable oil.
