Ingredients

Scale

1 lb beef sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 green onions, finely sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, and brown sugar. Add the beef pieces and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Drain excess marinade from the beef and add it to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned; flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
Pour in any remaining marinade; stir gently until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
Remove from heat, garnish with scallions, and serve immediately.
