Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 500g thinly sliced tender beef
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Slice the beef thinly across the grain to ensure tenderness. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Make the Honey Garlic Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together minced garlic, honey (natural), soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), and the natural gelling agent until smooth and well combined.
  3. Cook the Beef: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and quickly sear until browned on the outside but still juicy inside, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared honey garlic glaze over the beef in the skillet. Stir constantly as the sauce thickens, ensuring all beef pieces are coated in the sticky, glossy sauce.
  5. Finish and Garnish: Once the sauce reaches a perfect sticky consistency, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top to add freshness and crunch before serving.

Notes

  • Choose thinly sliced beef cuts like flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye for best results.
  • Ensure the beef is patted dry to encourage better browning and caramelization.
  • Freshly minced garlic is preferred for a vibrant and aromatic flavor.
  • Maintain medium to medium-high heat to avoid burning the sauce while caramelizing the beef.
  • Do not skip the natural gelling agent to achieve the signature sticky and glossy glaze.
  • Substitutes for honey include maple syrup (natural) or date syrup (natural).
  • The sauce can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
  • Add water or plant-based broth if the sauce thickens too much while cooking.
