Directions:
1. Place the beef in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour, slice into thin strips.

3. Place the baggie into a large bowl. Add the beef slices, mix well and allow the beef to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for a more intense flavor.
4. Cook the mushrooms in the oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok set over high heat until brown and softened, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and cook until softened, about another 5 minutes.
5. Add the meat and marinade to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is just slightly pink and the sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.
6. Serve immediately with rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions and fresh cilantro leaves.
