Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds round steak
- 0.33 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 3 stalks green onions
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice the round steak into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, cutting against the grain for tenderness.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic cloves to make the marinade.
Place the steak strips in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off (reserve the leftover marinade for later). Cook the steak in the skillet in batches, searing for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Set cooked steak aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until dissolved to create a slurry.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Add the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked steak to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly in the thickened sauce.
Slice the green onions diagonally and add them to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve hot over steamed white rice or alongside stir-fried vegetables.
