Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin and toss to coat. Marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.

Step 3: Add 4 sliced green onions (2-inch pieces) and stir fry with the beef for an additional 1-2 minutes until the onions are slightly softened but still vibrant.
Step 4: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the dish before serving with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
