  • garlic (minced)
    2 clove
  • rice wine vinegar

Directions

Directions

  1. Wrap the beef in plastic wrap and freeze until firm (but not rock hard). Once firm, slice the beef thinly into long strips. Place in a baking dish.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the scallions, garlic, rice wine vinegar, water, soy sauce, sweetener (honey or sugar substitute), and pepper. Pour the mixture over the beef and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours. While the beef is marinating, preheat an indoor or outdoor grill.

  3. Remove the beef from the marinade and shake off any excess marinade. Grill beef for 2-3 minutes on each side or until it is cooked to a medium-well doneness.

  4. Steam the vegetables and serve the beef over the steamed vegetables.

    There is honey in the ingredients, but it never appears in the instructions that I could see. In the marinade?
