    This is one of those recipes that you wish you'd made for last week's dinner party! It's not brain surgery, but it will make you look like a five-star chef (well, maybe a four-star chef). Selecting the right beef is the key here. I like to use a cut of beef that's lean, yet tender. Often times, I'll use beef tenderloin because it's my favorite cut. But that can be pricey! Flank steak works perfectly as well. This dish is great for a pick-up starter or as a main served with a side salad and sticky rice.
