Ingredients

• 1 pound beef (sirloin or tenderloin), cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until well combined to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the beef cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 3

When ready to cook, heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. If pan-searing, lightly grease the pan with a small amount of sesame oil or neutral cooking oil.

Step 4

Remove beef cubes from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off, and place them in the hot pan. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, searing each side for about 2-3 minutes or until the beef is browned and slightly caramelized but still tender inside.

Step 5

Transfer cooked beef cubes to a serving plate. Garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

Step 6

Serve hot as an entrée, on skewers, or paired with rice and vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy!
