15-Minute Beef with Green Onion Sauce
Thin slices of beef seared in one pan and topped with a sweet, garlicky green onion sauce with yuzu chili paste. Serve over rice or in lettuce wraps.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 6 green onions
- 6 cloves garlic grated
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (avocado)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp yuzu chili paste
- ¼ lemon juice
- pinch of sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 0.75 lb sliced beef (add salt and pepper to taste)
Garnish
- soy sauce to taste
Instructions
- Wash and slice your green onions.
- Grate your garlic and slice your lemon.
- In a pan on medium heat, add 2 tablespoons oil. Then, add your green onions and grated garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes until the green onions have wilted.
- Place your green onion sauce in a bowl, then add some salt, yuzu chili paste, lemon juice, sugar and sesame oil. Mix together and set aside.
- Use the same pan that you saute your green onions. The leftover oil has a lot of flavor! Turn heat to medium. Add your sliced beef and saute for 3-5 minutes.
- After cooking your beef, season with some salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, add the green onion sauce on top of the beef. Enjoy with rice or lettuce wraps!
Notes
Expert Tips
- Don't wash the pan between the sauce and the beef. That leftover oil has all the green onion and garlic flavor!
- Use extra thin beef (with some fat) and the beef will crisp up in the pan! This also cooks super quickly so you can make a meal in less than 15 minutes.
- Pat the beef dry and lay it in a single layer so it browns. If your pan is small, cook it in two batches.
- You can store the sauce in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add it on everything like your rice, noodles, vegetables, meats, or eggs.
