Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the steak strips in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have fresh herbs, dried ones can be substituted; just use one-third the amount. Adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce while cooking can enhance the dish's depth, similar to the flavors found in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steak strips and vegetables over a bed of fluffy rice or alongside crusty bread. For a complete meal, pair with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the steak strips with chicken breast or pork tenderloin. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, as chicken and pork may require longer to cook through. Make sure to season them similarly for a flavorful dish.
What can I use instead of olive oil?
If you don't have olive oil, any neutral oil such as canola or vegetable oil will work fine. For a different flavor profile, you could also use avocado oil, which has a high smoke point and a mild taste.
How do I know when the steak strips are cooked properly?
The steak strips should be cooked to your preferred level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. Remember that the steak will continue to cook slightly after being removed from heat.
