The key to this recipe is cutting the steak into very thin strips. To achieve this, freeze the steak for 30 minutes before slicing.

You can save money and calories by using only 1/2 pound of bacon. To save more money, look for bacon ends at the grocery. They are always less expensive than the packaged perfect slices.
