Notes

Add more or less red pepper flake or add Sriracha sauce to adjust the heat 
We serve this dish over Jasmine white rice  (not calculated in nutritional total) however you can serve over lettuce, pea pods, or brown rice. 
Over a cup of white  rice you will add 225 more calories  A half cup of white rice with a full serving of beef puts you right under 500 calories!
