Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin, cut into thin strips
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic. Set aside.
In another small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef strips to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Once all the beef is cooked, return it to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium.
Pour the soy sauce and honey mixture over the beef, stirring to coat evenly. Allow it to simmer for 2 minutes, letting the flavors soak into the beef.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the beef with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot over steamed rice or alongside your choice of vegetables.
