Notes

I used granulated monk fruit sweetener, if you are using powdered or liquid, start with 1/2 and taste. You can also swap for 1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup if you are not low carb. Adapted from : https://sweetpeasandsaffron.com/low-carb-satay-beef-meal-prep/#wprm-recipe-container-24721
