Sesame Beef
Report
Super juicy and flavorful, you’ve got to make sesame beef tonight! It’s made with less oil than at a Chinese restaurant, so you can savor the flavor in a healthier way! {Gluten-Free Adaptable}To make the dish gluten-free, use dry sherry to replace Shaoxing wine. And use tamari to replace soy sauce.

Instructions
- Combine the beef and marinade ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Marinate for 15 minutes white preparing other ingredients.
- Combine the sauce ingredients in a medium-size bowl and stir to mix well.
- Add the oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat and heat until hot. Add the marinated beef and spread without overlapping. Cook undisturbed until the bottom turns golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip and brown the other side, another minute or so. Turn to low heat. Transfer the beef into a plate and set aside.
- Stir the sauce again to dissolve the cornstarch completely, pour into the pan. Turn to medium heat and bring the sauce to a boil. Stir and cook until the sauce is thickened.
- Turn off the heat and add the cooked beef back. Toss to coat evenly, then sprinkle with sesame seeds to garnish.
- Serve hot over steamed rice as a main dish.
Notes
- To make the dish gluten-free, use dry sherry instead of Shaoxing wine, and use tamari to replace soy sauce.
