Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Beef sirloin strips
- 60 ml Low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 60 ml Water
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients: peel and mince the garlic cloves, grate the fresh ginger, and slice the green onions thinly. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, and grated ginger. Stir together until the sugar is well dissolved.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water, whisking until there are no lumps. Add this mixture to the soy-garlic sauce, stirring to combine. This will thicken the sauce as it cooks.
Season the beef sirloin strips with black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add half of the beef strips to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned. Remove and set aside.
Repeat with the remaining beef strips using the second tablespoon of olive oil.
Once all the beef is cooked, reduce the heat to medium and return all the beef strips to the skillet.
Pour the soy-garlic sauce over the beef in the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef evenly.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve the savory beef strips hot with your choice of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete low-sodium meal.
