Sesame Beef

This was easily the yummiest Chinese-style recipe I have ever made! Hands down, delicious! I served it over cooked spaghetti noodles which I think was the crowning glory. The sauce was so good on those noodles! This is definitely going into my "keeper" file.

Sesame Beef

4 TBSP. soy sauce
4 TBSP. white sugar
4 TBSP. vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp. dried minced onion
1 lb. round steak, sliced into strips
2 TBSP. sesame seeds 

Mix soy sauce, sugar, oil, garlic, and onions in a large bowl. Set aside. Cut steak into strips and add to bowl (can also mix all of this in a large gallon size ziploc baggie). Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or overnight. Cook in wok or frying pan until brown, about 5 minutes. Add sesame seeds and cook for additional 2 minutes.
**note** When I made this I heated some olive oil in a large saute pan and tossed in 2 bags of frozen stir fry veggies and a bag of frozen broccoli florets. After a few minutes of cooking them, I tossed in the marinated beef, sauce and all, cooking it until the beef was done. I served the beef/veggie mixture over cooked spaghetti noodles and it was insanely good! Also, I used 1 1/2 lbs. cubed beef/stew meat and tripled the sauce recipe to account for the extra beef/veggies additions and to make sure there was enough sauce to cover the noodles. It was the perfect amount for us.
