Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
Special equipment needed:
- Large mixing bowl
- Large skillet or wok
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, gochujang, garlic, and ginger.
2. Add thinly sliced beef to the bowl and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
3. After marinating, remove the beef from the marinade and toss in cornstarch until evenly coated.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
6. In the same skillet, add the sliced green onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.
7. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
8. Return the beef to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
9. Serve hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds.
