Directions
Step 1
1. Thinly slice the beef sirloin across the grain to ensure tenderness. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Step 2
2. In a small bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, and 60 ml of water. Mix well, then pour over the sliced beef. Let it marinate while you prepare other ingredients.

Step 7
