Thanks so much for your recipe! It wa a hit with the family. I did cut the beef into smaller pieces than suggested, and it was a struggle to get the browning while keeping the interior under control. Meat was cooked more than I wanted but even still it was delicious. I will definitely make this again.

Glad you tried my shaking beef recipe! I love my streak medium-rare to medium, so have to cut them quite big chunk! 🙂

I’ll try this recipe tonight.
I want to ask, the marinate leftover can be use or not? Thx

No. You should not save or reuse anything that has had raw meat in it

Do I have to use a cast iron skillet?

I just use a regular frying pan over high heat and it still tastes amazing.

The recipe I use has Maggi arome in it. Do you ever use it?
Reply
SeonkyoungOctober 26, 2018 at 7:35 pm
You can use Maggi if you want! Just reduce amount of soy sauce from the recipe!

Looks delicious! However, now I’m really curious what you changed from your friend’s recipe… Do you remember?

Have you ever served this on rice? Seems like it might be a good option.
