Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add the sliced beef to the marinade, mixing well to ensure all pieces are coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  3. While the beef is marinating, prepare the salad by placing the mixed greens, julienned cucumber, sliced red bell pepper, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro in a large bowl.
  4. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is cooked through and browned.
  5. Remove the beef from heat and let it rest for a minute before adding it to the salad bowl.
  6. Toss the salad ingredients together gently, ensuring even distribution of the beef.
  7. Sprinkle black sesame seeds on top before serving and enjoy your spicy beef salad warm or at room temperature.
