Ingredients
- 500 g Beef sirloin strips
- 60 ml Low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 60 ml Water
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the ingredients: peel and mince the garlic cloves, grate the fresh ginger, and slice the green onions thinly. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, and grated ginger. Stir together until the sugar is well dissolved.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water, whisking until there are no lumps. Add this mixture to the soy-garlic sauce, stirring to combine. This will thicken the sauce as it cooks.
Step 4
Season the beef sirloin strips with black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add half of the beef strips to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned. Remove and set aside.
Step 6
Repeat with the remaining beef strips using the second tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 7
Once all the beef is cooked, reduce the heat to medium and return all the beef strips to the skillet.
Step 8
Pour the soy-garlic sauce over the beef in the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef evenly.
Step 9
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Step 10
Serve the savory beef strips hot with your choice of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete low-sodium meal.
