• ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
• 12 cm piece of ginger, grated
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons cooking sake

2. Let the beef marinade for about 10 minutes.

Pro tip from Olivia: “Let the kids help with preparing each of the ingredients, it’s a great way for them to understand the way flavours come together and the love that goes into home-cooked meals. Plus, it’s a great way to have a bit of fun with the family. Just make sure they don’t stand too close to the hot pan!”
