Thanks so much for your recipe! It wa a hit with the family. I did cut the beef into smaller pieces than suggested, and it was a struggle to get the browning while keeping the interior under control. Meat was cooked more than I wanted but even still it was delicious. I will definitely make this again.

No. You should not save or reuse anything that has had raw meat in it

The recipe I use has Maggi arome in it. Do you ever use it?

You can use Maggi if you want! Just reduce amount of soy sauce from the recipe!
