🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1.5 lbs lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced
✓ 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
✓ 2 tablespoons sesame oil
✓ 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
✓ 2 tablespoons honey or monk fruit sweetener
✓ 6 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
✓ 1 medium onion, sliced
✓ 3 green onions, chopped
✓ 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
✓ 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
✓ 2 pears or 1 apple, grated (optional traditional ingredient)
✓ 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil for cooking

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a bowl to create the marinade.

2. Add thinly sliced beef to the marinade and stir to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

3. Heat grapeseed oil in a large skillet or cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4. Working in batches, cook marinated beef for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

5. Add sliced onions in the final batch and cook until slightly softened and edges are charred, about 2 minutes.

6. Transfer all beef and onions back to the skillet and toss gently. Cook for 1 minute to combine flavors.

7. Garnish generously with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

8. Serve immediately over cauliflower rice, with lettuce wraps, or alongside steamed vegetables for a balanced Fat Switch meal.
