Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated ginger. Marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature. In a separate bowl, toss 2 medium grated sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- Step 3: Add the sweet potato mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly for 5-6 minutes until golden and crisp-tender. Return the beef to the pan and stir to combine. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 4 chopped scallions. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the scallions are fragrant and the sauce thickens slightly.
