Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Sauce

  • 500g beef strips, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp honey (natural)
  • 4 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (natural)
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 cup grape juice
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, freshly chopped
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Slice the beef into thin strips for quick and even cooking. Pat the strips dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear in the pan.
  2. Make the Sticky Sauce: In a bowl, combine honey (natural), minced garlic, soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), grape juice, and a pinch of natural gelling agent. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Sear the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and cook for a few minutes on each side until browned but still juicy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. Cook the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce into the same pan. Simmer gently, stirring often, until the sauce thickens to a sticky, shiny glaze that coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the beef strips to the pan and toss gently to coat evenly in the sticky honey garlic sauce. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot with your favorite sides such as steamed rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Notes

  • Opt for beef cuts like sirloin or ribeye for optimal tenderness.
  • Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan and to ensure proper searing.
  • Adjust the sweetness gradually by tasting the sauce as you prepare it.
  • Use fresh garlic rather than pre-minced for more vibrant flavor.
  • Add the natural gelling agent slowly to control sauce thickness.
