Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add 8 oz thinly sliced beef sirloin, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove beef and set aside.

  3. Step 3: Add 2 spiralized medium zucchinis and 3 tbsp soy sauce to the skillet. Toss and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until zucchini noodles are tender but still slightly crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return the beef to the skillet and toss everything together for 1 minute to combine and heat through.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
