Instructions
Start by slicing the lean beef sirloin into thin strips and set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add udon noodles, and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced beef into the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes until just browned.
Pour in the low-sodium beef broth, soy sauce, and mirin into the pan, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the sliced carrot to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes until just tender.
Add the cooked udon noodles into the broth, followed by the baby spinach. Let it simmer for 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add sliced spring onions and gently stir everything together.
Remove from heat and serve hot, garnishing each bowl with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
