FOR THE STEAK (Optional Chicken)

- Cut or pound the meat so they have even thickness throughout. Add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Cook in batches to not overcrowd the pan. (Optional Grill)
- Chop the meat into 1 inch pieces and return to the pan to develop color on all sides of the meat.
- Pour the sauce over the steak / chicken and toss to coat.
FOR THE VEGETABLES
- Heat a large pot over medium low heat. Add in the butter, garlic, and ginger. Stir frequently to make sure they don’t burn. Allow the garlic to start to develop a little bit of color.
