A delightful twist on a classic sesame beef stir-fry, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Slice the beef thinly against the grain.
Freezing the beef for 15 minutes before slicing makes it easier to cut thinly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, soy sauce, pepper, and minced garlic.
Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved for a consistent marinade.
Add the sliced beef to the bowl and coat it well with the marinade. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
Marinating the beef longer enhances the flavor.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, then set aside.
Keep stirring to prevent the seeds from burning.
Heat the vegetable oil in the skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the beef for a good sear.
Add the marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry until browned, about 3-4 minutes.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the cooked beef and mix gently.
Add the sesame seeds just before serving to retain their crunch.
Serve the sesame beef over steamed rice and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
