Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 60 ml low sodium soy sauce
- 1 medium pear, grated
- 1 medium onion, finely grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
Instructions
Place the thinly sliced beef sirloin in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, grated pear, grated onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, honey, sesame oil, and ground black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the beef slices and mix well to ensure all the beef is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours for more flavor infusion.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the marinated beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through and slightly caramelized.
Once cooked, transfer the beef to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately with a side of steamed rice or lettuce leaves for wrapping.
