Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Beef sirloin, cut into strips
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water (for slurry)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil to create the sauce.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Set aside for later use.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the beef strips to the skillet in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Pour the prepared sauce into the same skillet, scraping up any bits stuck to the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

Step 6

Whisk the cornstarch slurry again to recombine, then slowly pour it into the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. Allow the sauce to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef strips to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the sauce is glossy.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Mahogany Beef to a serving platter.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving. Pair with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
