- Return steak to pan. Stir everything together and cook until flavors meld.
- Serve hot over rice and garnish with green onions or parsley if desired.
Notes
To get steak really thin, freeze it for an hour or two before slicing. You can customize the veggies — bell peppers, carrots, asparagus and more work well. Sambal, garlic, and ginger are the keys to deep flavor.
