• VARIATIONS:

• Lemon juice, brown sugar, and a little salt (I usually through things in until it tastes right)
• A marinade just slightly changes the flavor of the beef.
• Any cut of lean beef is good, the idea is to get as much of the fat out as you can.
• Or if you like Thai food -- try mixing a peanut type marinade -- we
• Love this one -- peanut butter, with water, Indonesian or sweet soy sauce.
• Sambal (red pepper sauce), lemon juice, -- just mix over low heat until You have a sauce consistency and the taste seems right -- this is Excellent for stirfrys
