Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean beef sirloin
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce, reduced sodium
• 2 tablespoons Mirin
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 spray Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

1. Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. This will help with quick cooking and absorbing the flavors of the marinade.

Step 2

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.

Step 3

3. Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring the beef is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

4. Preheat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.

Step 5

5. Once the pan is hot, add the marinated beef strips in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the beef is browned and cooked through.

Step 6

6. Remove the cooked beef from the pan and place on a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and a pinch of ground black pepper.

Step 7

7. Serve immediately as part of a meal with steamed rice and vegetables, if desired.
