Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 8 oz thinly sliced beef sirloin seasoned with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through, then remove beef from skillet.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil and 3 minced garlic cloves, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 spiralized medium zucchinis and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return cooked beef to the skillet, add 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, stirring well to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until sauce coats the ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
