NOTES:

• Cutting steak and other meats in small cubes or thin slices are easier if half frozen. Take advantage of frozen stored meats and prepare before they defrost completely.
• Ketjap Manis is an Indonesian soy sauce; slightly thicker and sweeter than regular soy sauce. It can be found in Asian grocers and at the supermarket but I have noticed that the name can be spelled differently depending on brand.
