  29. I have to say … Because you cut the beef in strips, and fried, then stir fried… I think it would have been necessary to tenderize the beef… Be honest, it was tough wasn't it? I understand the instinct not to tenderize because you used a nice cut of meat…. But double cooking thin sliced beef had to have made that shoe leather
