Oriental Steak Strips with Mushrooms and Cherry Tomatoes

Mushrooms and Cherry Tomatoes

These steak strips taste great, and because the recipe uses the best of the best, beef

tenderloin, they almost melt in your mouth. Sesame oil is used as a wonderful flavoring

instead of a cooking oil because it burns easily. The darker the oil’s color, the more

intense its flavor is. Keep it stored in a cool, dark place, and it lasts for several months.
