beef

🥗Healthier: chicken

Chicken offers a leaner option while pork is often more affordable.

💰Cheaper: white wine

Rice vinegar with sugar mimics mirin's sweetness and acidity.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces salt intake, while tamari is gluten-free.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier, while canola oil is often less expensive.

Slice beef against the grain into thin strips.

Mix soy sauce, mirin, sugar, ginger, and garlic in a bowl to create the marinade.

Add beef strips to the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Remove beef from marinade, reserving the marinade for later.

Add beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Pour reserved marinade over the beef and simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve beef over cooked rice and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
