Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin
- 1 medium Pear (Asian, grated)
- 60 milliliters Apple juice
- 75 milliliters Coconut aminos
- 1.5 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into bite-sized pieces and set aside in a large bowl.
Step 2
In a separate mixing bowl, combine grated Asian pear, apple juice, coconut aminos, sesame oil, minced garlic, sliced green onions, ground black pepper, honey, and rice vinegar.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the sliced beef and mix well, ensuring that each piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for enhanced flavor.
Step 4
Once marinated, heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil to the pan.
Step 5
Working in batches, add the marinated beef in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the beef is nicely browned and cooked through.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked beef to a serving plate, garnish with sesame seeds, and serve immediately with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
