Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp grated ginger, 2 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
Step 3: Add 1/2 cup sliced scallions to the skillet and cook for 1 more minute until scallions are slightly softened but still bright green.
Step 4: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the beef. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
