minutesIngredients
0.5 pound sliced beef (flank, NY strip, ribeye, skirt), cut about a quarter inch thick
1.5 Tablespoons soy sauce
1.5 Tablespoons vinegar
0.5 Tablespoon sugar
2 Tablespoons garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon neutral oil (plus more for cooking)
Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
Pinch of salt
Directions
- Combine 1.5 Tbsp soy sauce and vinegar, 0.5 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsps garlic, 1 Tbsp neutral oil, and salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Next, add in the thinly sliced beef into the bowl and combine with the marinade. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 12 hours (up to 24 hours).
- When ready to cook, heat up a cast iron pan over medium high heat and add in about a tablespoon of neutral oil.
- Once the oil is shimmering, add in the beef in a single layer and cook until golden brown on one side then flip over to cook the other side – about 2 minutes per side. You can do this in batches so you don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Serve hot with garlic rice, a fried egg, and some spicy vinegar for dipping.
