Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless rib eye steak thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3-4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp Korean red pepper paste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 4 green onions thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds to garnish
  • OPTIONAL: cooked rice to serve

Instructions

  • Place the sliced beef in a large Ziploc bag. In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper paste. Add this sauce over the beef in the Ziploc bag and stir through the bag to combine. Marinate the meat for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add half of the marinated meat and arrange in a single layer into the pan to evenly cook. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining oil and meat.
  • Garnish with green onions, and sesame seeds and serve over cooked rice.

Notes

  • Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container or plastic bag in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze cooled meat in an airtight, freezer-safe container or plastic bag for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat from frozen by letting this thaw in the fridge overnight or on the counter at room temperature for a couple hours before heating on the stovetop or microwave until warmed through. Stir halfway to distribute heat evenly.
