Yum! This was so good! I plan on making this again! I served it with noodles and a little warmed beef broth. The beef turned out tender and resembled beef stew with the texture but the flavors are 100% Asian!
Next time I'll make this in a slow cooker the night before.This way it can chill during the day and the excess fat can solidify on the top which will be easy to remove.
