Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless beef sirloin
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 cup water
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and cornstarch mixed with water, creating a smooth sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and once hot, add the beef slices in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until browned, then flip and brown the other side for another 2 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the broccoli florets and julienned carrot, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften but still retain a crunch.
Return the cooked beef to the pan, pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, and bring to a simmer. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
Divide the cooked jasmine rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with the beef and vegetable mixture.
Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
