Preparation

Step 1

Blot the beef dry using a paper towel then place into a bowl.

Step 2

Mix together the Marinade ingredients in a small bowl, then add the beef. Stir gently to coat the beef, cover with cling wrap and set aside to marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. Because the meat is thin, you still get good flavour even with 1 hour of marinating.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a wok or large fry pan over high heat.

Step 4

Add the onion and white part of the scallion/shallots. Cook for 1 minute.

Step 5

Then add the beef, including the Marinade, and carrots. Cook for around 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the beef is just cooked.

Step 6

Remove from heat, then toss through the sesame seeds.

Step 7

Serve immediately with rice - or for a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice! Sprinkle with extra sesame seeds and the reserved green part of the scallions.
