Description

Thinly sliced, marinated beef cooked to juicy perfection—sweet, savory, and a hint of garlic and sesame magic, ideal for an easy weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin)

½ cup soy sauce

2 Tbsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp honey

2 Tbsp sesame oil

1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger

4 cloves garlic, minced

½ tsp black pepper

1 small onion, thinly sliced

2 scallions, sliced (for garnish)

1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Optional: ½ tsp red pepper flakes for a spicy kick


Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

Add sliced beef and sliced onion to the marinade. Mix until all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Add marinated beef and onions in a single layer (work in batches if needed).

Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until beef is browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and let rest briefly in the pan, allowing juices to settle.

Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

Serve hot with steamed rice, lettuce wraps, or kimchi on the side.
