Stirfried beef with bok choy
Vietnamese home cooking in New Zealand. Serving for 2 adults and 1 toddler.
I use beef schnitzel because its thinly cut is the closest to Vietnamese stir-fry beef. The stir-fry pack at the supermarket would do but if you overcook, the meat would be very hard to chew. I sometimes buy a big chunk of rib eye and slice it myself as rib eye is tender no matter how you cook it and the slices can also be used in Pho. But rib eye is pricey alright, and slicing it is a lot of work.
