Recipe Notes

For make ahead meal prep, complete Step 1. Portion the beef into individual servings in ziplock bags. Squeeze out the air and keep the bags flat and store them in the freezer.

You can pre-chop the garlic and pre-slice the ginger, scallions, and red chilli peppers and store them separately in containers in the fridge or just prepare them before cooking.

Defrost the beef a night before in the fridge with a stray underneath the ziplock bag in case there's any leaking.

There's no need to add or measure any extra seasoning because we marinated the beef in advance.
