Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 500g beef strips (sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp honey (natural)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Slice beef into thin bite-sized strips to ensure quick and even cooking. Finely mince fresh garlic to infuse the sauce with vibrant flavor.
  2. Make the Glaze: In a bowl, combine honey (natural), soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of natural gelling agent. Whisk together until smooth and set aside to let flavors marry.
  3. Cook the Beef: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips and sear until just browned on all sides. Remove beef from the pan and set aside, leaving browned bits in the pan.
  4. Build the Sauce: In the same pan, add minced garlic and gently sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the glaze mixture, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
  5. Combine and Finish: Return the beef to the pan, tossing to coat every piece thoroughly with the sticky honey garlic sauce. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature beef for even cooking and tenderness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; sear in batches if necessary to ensure caramelization instead of steaming.
  • Stir the sauce continuously as the natural gelling agent thickens quickly.
  • Taste the sauce as you cook, adjusting honey or apple cider vinegar to balance sweetness and acidity.
  • Allow the beef to rest a few minutes after cooking to seal in juices.
