Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Beef:

    • 1 lb beef steak (sirloin, flank, or ribeye), thinly sliced against the grain
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Salt and pepper to taste

  2. For the Brown Sugar Glaze:

    • 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
    • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
    • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional for an added depth of flavor)
    • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a little heat)

  3. For Garnish (optional):

    • Sesame seeds
    • Green onions, chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the Beef:
    Season the beef slices with salt and pepper.
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    Add the beef in batches to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

  • Make the Brown Sugar Glaze:
    In the same skillet, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
    Stir in the brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and ginger.
    Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
    If you like a bit of spice, add red pepper flakes and sesame oil at this stage.

  • Combine Beef and Glaze:
    Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing it in the brown sugar glaze. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the beef is coated in the sauce and warmed through.
    Taste and adjust with more salt, pepper, or vinegar if necessary.

 

  • Serve:
    Serve the brown sugar beef over rice, noodles, or with steamed vegetables.
    Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a fresh, flavorful touch.

Notes

  • Add Veggies: Stir in bell peppers, onions, or broccoli to make it a more complete meal.

 

  • Make It Spicier: Add more red pepper flakes or drizzle some sriracha for extra heat.
