Tips:
For this recipe, I opt to use beef top round steak as it is a leaner, less tender cut of meat. You can pound it using a meat mallet before cooking for a more tender result. Beginning at one end of the steak and slowly working towards the other end, evenly flatten the meat using the spiked side of the mallet. Do this without damaging the meat.
The meat used in this recipe has a little fat and lots of protein. For a well-balanced meal, serve this with fresh vegetables and rice.
Allow the cooked beef mixture to cool, place in an air-tight container, and freeze. When ready to serve, thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat in a large skillet while stirring often, until heated through. If needed, add a splash of broth.
