Asian Style Cumin Beef

Cumin beef is a flavorful dish that goes really well with rice or noodles. In this case I served the beef with brown rice and sautéed broccoli with red onions. In the directions you will see that I recommend marinating the beef for a while, if you don't have time for this, you can skip this step, and it won't change the recipe completely. I bought the meat already sliced, this cut of meat can be found in Asian markets, I found it at Trader Joe's. You can also change the recipe a bit and use ground beef. With the leftovers I made fried rice mixing the meat, rice and vegetables, the next day we ate it for lunch. When you cook this recipe let me know how it went, what type of beef cut you used and what you served it with.
