Cooking Steps

1

Using a vegetable peeler, slice cucumber and carrot into ribbons. • In a large bowl, combine the vinegar and a generous pinch of sugar and salt. • Add cucumber and carrot to the pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover veggies. Set aside and allow veggies to pickle, 10-15 minutes.

TIP: Slicing the veggies very thinly helps it pickle faster!

• Once veggies have pickled, in a medium bowl, combine beef strips, Asian BBQ seasoning and the plain flour. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, shake off excess flour and cook beef strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes.

TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over high heat helps it stay tender.
