  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin recommended)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned and fragrant.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce over the beef and stir well to coat.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and let the beef simmer in the sauce for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef beautifully.
  4. Spoon the cooked rice into bowls and top with the glazed beef. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, freeze the beef for 30 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
  • Add vegetables like sautéed bell peppers or steamed broccoli for extra nutrition.
  • Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
