TIPS: Consider buying a tender cut of beef if you’re stir-frying, don’t be shy to ask the butcher for the right cut of meat for your dish.

And remember, the thinner you slice the meat the faster it cooks.

The recipes I share are inspired by my grandma’s cooking. She also thought me how to save time and money, and eat better with fresh ingredients. I grew up in a household where home-cooked meals are part of our day-to-day life. Cooking is not a chore but a way of living and connecting with each other.
