How to be creative
  • Add sliced bell peppers or carrots for extra color and crunch.
  • Top with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added texture.
  • Try marinating the beef in teriyaki sauce for a sweeter flavor profile.
Important Tips
  • Ensure your pan is hot before adding the beef to achieve a nice sear.
  • Do not overcook the bok choy; it should remain vibrant and slightly crunchy.
  • Use flank steak or sirloin for a more tender bite.
