Ingredients
Scale
Beef Marinade
- 1 pound beef sirloin, sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
To Serve
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- Sliced green onions for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced beef sirloin with low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, and brown sugar. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Beef: Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated beef and sauté, cooking for about 3 minutes per side, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Assemble the Bowl: Serve the cooked beef over warm cooked rice. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of gochujang (Korean chili paste) to the marinade or as a topping.
- Use brown rice for a healthier, fiber-rich option.
- Make sure to slice the beef very thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Marinating the beef longer than 15 minutes (up to 1 hour) can deepen the flavor.
