Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 small sliced white onion and 1 julienned medium carrot; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
Step 3: Add the marinated beef along with the marinade to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until beef is browned and cooked through, and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4: Stir in 3 chopped green onions and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed rice or greens for a balanced meal.
