Kitchen HelpShopping list
1 lb ribeye steak or flank steak — sliced very thin
0.5 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp sesame oil
4 cloves garlic — minced
1 tsp fresh ginger — grated
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
2 spring onions — sliced thin
1 tbsp vegetable oil — for cooking
Instructions
Step by step
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the sugar dissolves.
- 2
Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring every piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors deeply penetrate the meat.
- 3
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or cast-iron wok over high heat until smoking hot.
- 4
Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, add the beef in a flat layer and sear for 1– per side until beautifully caramelized, deeply browned, and slightly crisp on the edges.
- 5
Transfer to a serving platter, garnish generously with toasted sesame seeds and fresh green onions, and serve hot.
