Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin or ribeye
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 pieces Green onions, chopped
• 1 small Pear, grated
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef into very thin strips, about 1/8-inch thick. Tip: Freezing the beef slightly beforehand can aid in slicing.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, grated pear, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for better flavor.

Step 4

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the marinated beef to the skillet, along with any additional marinade, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the beef is cooked through and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Add the julienned carrot and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet, stir-frying for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top and give a final toss.

Step 8

Serve hot with steamed rice or in lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
