Tips

  • If using fresh green onions from the grocery store, separate the white and light green parts from the dark green parts as the white and light green parts take longer to cook.
  • To save time, use a garlic press instead of mincing garlic.
  • For less sauce, cut the sauce recipe in half.
  • The Blackstone grill is good for searing the beef.
