Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 50 milliliters low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 ripe pear, grated
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 2 tablespoons oil, for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, low sodium soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and grated pear. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for best results.

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef to the skillet. Spread it out in a single layer and let it sear for 2-3 minutes without stirring.

Step 5

Add the chopped green onions and julienned carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together for 3-4 more minutes until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly tender.

Step 6

Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
