Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.

  3. Step 3: Add the marinated beef to the wok in a single layer. Stir-fry over low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is cooked through and tender.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle 2 tsp sesame oil and sprinkle 1/2 tsp black pepper over the beef. Toss to combine and remove from heat immediately. Serve with steamed rice or noodles.
