Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, marinate the beef strips in Worcestershire sauce and black pepper for a few hours before cooking. You can substitute bacon fat with olive oil or butter if preferred. To thicken the sauce, consider adding a cornstarch slurry at the end of cooking. Pair this dish with steamed rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
