    Coat strips of meat with the spice mixture and add them to the preheated skillet. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.

  • 4
    Add potatoes, onion, beef broth, and garlic. Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes.

Tip: Partially freeze the beef first (30 to 60 minutes in the freezer) to make it easier to slice into thin strips. Cut across the grain for more tender bites.
