Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef sirloin
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce, reduced sodium
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 spray Cooking spray
Instructions
1. Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. This will help with quick cooking and absorbing the flavors of the marinade.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
3. Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring the beef is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Preheat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.
5. Once the pan is hot, add the marinated beef strips in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the beef is browned and cooked through.
6. Remove the cooked beef from the pan and place on a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and a pinch of ground black pepper.
7. Serve immediately as part of a meal with steamed rice and vegetables, if desired.
