Ingredients

Beef and Marinade

1 pound boneless rib eye steak Provides a rich, tender cut of meat that’s perfect for quick cooking.
1/4 cup coconut aminos Adds a mildly sweet, soy sauce-like flavor.
2 tablespoons honey Delivers sweetness that enhances the overall taste.
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil Contributes a nutty aroma and flavor.
3 cloves garlic Offers a savory base with strong aromatic qualities.
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger Infuses the recipe with warmth and a hint of spice.
1 tablespoon Korean red pepper paste Adds heat and depth to the dish.
1 tablespoon olive oil Baseline cooking oil that helps prevent sticking.

Garnishes and Sides

2 green onions sliced Provides a fresh, crisp contrast to the rich meat.
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds Adds crunch and a visual appeal as a garnish.
4 cups cooked rice Serves as the perfect base for the dish.

Method

Preparation

Marinate the beef by placing the sliced rib eye steak in a large Ziploc bag. In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, and Korean red pepper paste, then add to the beef and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Cooking

Heat 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Add half of the marinated meat and cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining meat.

Serving

Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve over cooked rice.

Notes

For the best results, choose good quality rib eye steak and allow sufficient marination time. Adjust the spice level according to your preference.
