Ingredients
- 1 lb of beef fillet, thinly sliced

Cooking Instructions

Cook the beef in a hot frying pan or grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the meat is cooked to your liking. Allow the beef to cool down for a few minutes to release the juices.
Slice the beef thinly into bite size pieces.
