Ingredients
1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
2 medium zucchinis, sliced
2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 green onions, sliced
2 tbsp cooking oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef until browned (4-5 minutes), then remove and set aside.
Add remaining cooking oil, sauté garlic and ginger for 1 minute. Add zucchini and cook until tender (3-4 minutes).
Combine soy sauce, cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water in a bowl. Return beef to the skillet, pour in the sauce, and cook until thickened (2-3 minutes).
Stir in green onions and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
Marinate beef in soy sauce for 15 minutes before cooking for deeper flavor.
Adjust salt to taste, depending on soy sauce used.
