Sesame Flavored Beef

You can change up the oil to give this a different flavor. For instance, try olive oil, salt, rosemary and a tiny bit of garlic for Mediterranean flavored beef. Massaging in the a little oil serves to make lean cuts more tender and juicy.

Yield:

2 to 3

Ingredients

1. 200g / about 7-8 oz. thinly cut beef
2. 2 tsp. soy sauce
3. 2 tsp. mirin
4. 1 tsp. brown sugar
5. 2 tsp. + 1 tsp. sesame oil

Directions

1. Slice the beef across the grain, into thin strips. Put into a bowl, and add say sauce, mirin, and brown sugar. Massage the meat with your hands to rub in the marinade.
2. Marinade for at least 1 hour, but 12 hours if possible.
3. Heat a frying pan and add the sesame oil. Add the beef to the hot pan and stir-fry for a couple of minutes until done. It should be just a bit syrupy, and an appetizing dark brown.
