Here’s an easy recipe using my very own Gradual Make-Ahead Method. I generally buy enough sirloin to triple this recipe, then set two batches aside for future use. That’s where the make-ahead comes in. It’s such a time saver to have the meat already sliced and ready to go in the freezer. Just be sure to move it to the refrigerator to thaw overnight before cooking. As you can tell from the photo, the kids love this one.
They also love sneaking their mugs into any photos I happen to be taking.

Love this, Lori! Thank you. I always forget about how easy it would be to make ahead more meat than I need and freeze. As long as the veggies are separate, it’ll taste fantastic the next time you serve it up.
One of my faves! I leave off the corn starch. You don’t really need it unless you like it a little thicker. We like mostly broc, very little beef. Yum!
I am new to freezer cooking. When freezing this – do you freeze the meat in the marinade?
