Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons mirin

  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • 8 ounces flank beef steak, trimmed of fat and very thinly sliced against the grain

  • 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped

  • 2 teaspoons jalapeño pepper, chopped, or to taste

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, chopped

  • 4 cups mung bean sprouts

  • One 6-ounce bag baby spinach

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  • In a small bowl, mix the mirin, soy sauce, and cornstarch.

  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Place the steak onto the pan, and cook until one side is seared (about 1 minute), then flip.

  • Add the garlic, jalapeno and ginger to the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds or until the mixture becomes fragrant. Add the bean sprouts and spinach to the skillet.

  • Pour the mirin and soy sauce mixture over the steak, and gently stir. After the sauce thickens and the spinach wilts (about 3 minutes), add cilantro and sesame oil.

  • Top with sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
