Asian Beef Salad, Danny Style

Despite the name, this dish works best as a side dish to rice.  Tried to give it more colour this time by adding tomatoes into the mix.  Ideally, I'd be throwing in halved cherry tomatoes, but we all have to work with what we got, right?

Mistakes/Lessons:

• This takes a good few hours (~4 hrs?  I'm slow, though, so I'm sure an average person can finish in less) if working on your own
• To speed things up, the work can be split.  Someone can take steps 1-5, the other takes 6-8
