Notes
- Store leftover beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, reheat the beef in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent drying.
- Top your bowl with a fried egg for extra protein and flavor!
- Don't skip the sesame oil; it adds a crucial nutty flavor that elevates the whole dish.
