Usually big chained grocery stores won't and can't thinly slice their beef this way because due to regulations they aren't allow to freeze their meat and thats the only way the meat can thinly be sliced. Then there's the little markets that does package thinly sliced meats but will charge an additional 2 to 3 dollars on top of the regular sales price per pound. Best thing to do is what this guys doing. Save more, get more.

Hi, great tip thanks. I tried to look for the answer in the comments but can’t seem to find it. How long should the meat stay in the fridge before cutting it ?

[craigh]

What kind of cut of meat is best for hot pot?

Greetings to the Lau family! Since you asked, I would love to see Daddy Lau make potato pancakes with a scallion garnish. Bests!
