Instructions
- Prepare the sesame mayonnaise by mixing mayo with the sesame oil and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Mix all ingredients for the beef marinade and pour into a plastic bag. Add the beef and marinate for 15 minutes or more at room temperature.
- Divide all the chopped vegetables, except the scallions, between two plates.
- Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add sesame seeds to the dry pan, and toast them for a couple of minutes, or until they’re lightly browned and fragrant. Set aside.
- Pat the meat dry on both sides with paper towels. On high heat, sear for a minute or two on each side, and then reduce heat to medium low, cooking until beef is medium, and then transfer to a cutting board.
- Fry the scallions for a minute in the same pan.
- Slice the meat, across the grain, into thin slices. Place beef and scallions on top of the vegetables.
- Top with roasted sesame seeds and serve with a dollop of sesame mayonnaise on the side.
Tip
In this dish, the beef is best served at medium, but you can make it well done if you prefer.
Craving a bit of variety? Try swapping in salmon or pre-cooked chicken instead of the beef.

P.S. It's very difficult to follow the rules when 10 different sources give 10 different versions of nutrition info.... how to know which info is the only correct one?
Unfortunately nutritional info is no exact science. We just have to try to do our best. :)

You can omit it if you don't care for the taste.

The dressing is quite fatty, which brings the extra calories.
Yogurt has a much stronger taste, and more carbohydrates. If you sub, you may want to taste test as you go.
It was so delicious.
Excellent idea!
Fish sauce has a very distinct taste. Soy sauce may work well, but it will be different.
