Can I use steak instead of ground beef?

Absolutely, Thinly sliced flank steak works beautifully - just sear it quickly over high heat (about 2 minutes per side) before adding the sauce. The texture will be different but equally delicious.

It sure can be, Swap regular soy sauce for tamari (which is naturally gluten-free) and you're golden. I've done this for my gluten-sensitive friends and they couldn't taste the difference.

How spicy is it really?

The beauty is in your hands. With just 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, it's got a gentle warmth. But here's my secret - I often add an extra pinch at the end for my bowl while keeping it mild for the kids. Taste and adjust as you go. For more ideas on spicy food, see what are some good spicy foods .
