A simple dish with a short ingredient list. Slicing the steak thin means it can be cooked quite quickly. Served over a bit of rice with some garlic bread on the side, it makes a satisfying meal.

¹ I used a combination of tenderloin and eye of round. The exact cut isn't terribly important. Just be sure to choose something that isn't too tough. ^Back
