Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin thinly sliced
  • 3  green onion  finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sweet rice wine (mirim)
  • 2-3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic 
  • 1/2 tsp ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1-2 tbsp oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spread the beef over the cutting board and pound strong with the back of your knife all over the meat. Do not cut through. Flip the meat to the other side and do the same. Gather up the meat and cut 3-4 times.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the rest of ingredients together except oil.
  3. Add the beef to the sauce, and toss to coat as you are kneading the meat. Let it sit on the room temperature for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat a heavy bottom skillet until very hot. Drizzle a little oil and spread a small amount of beef mixture thinly on a hot skillet. It should sizzle immediately. Cook for 2 minutes, turn to the other side and cook for another 1 minute. The meat should have some caramelized surface.
  5. Serve hot with rice and a simple side salad. Enjoy!
