Description

A delightful dish that combines tender beef with a sweet and savory glaze, paired with the fresh crunch of cucumber.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef (sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • Green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Add the sliced beef and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated beef. Stir-fry until the beef is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle cornstarch over the beef and stir until the sauce thickens.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate beef overnight and use vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for added nutrition.
