Notes

Make sure to cut the steak against the grain for more tender strips. Marinate the steak for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking for extra flavor. Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for variety. Adjust the level of spice by adding more cayenne or including hot peppers in the mix.
