Serving Suggestions

Tips and Tricks
- For the beef, choosing thin-sliced sirloin tip steak, ribeye, or shaved beef are great options as they are tender and cook quickly.
- Ensure your beef is thinly sliced for the best texture. If you’re slicing the meat yourself, you can partially freeze it to make slicing easier and more uniform.
- If you prefer not to use an oven or want to save on energy, you can cover the skillet with a lid on the stove to melt the cheese instead of baking.
