After I’ve worked all day and its time for dinner, I am always looking for a simple, flavorful meal. Sometimes I think we forget that simple doesn’t have to be boring and flavorless. The base of this recipe starts with really good, high quality beef. Then there’s a a delicious sauce that is prepared for the beef.
I was introduced to Summerfield Farms 100% grass-fed, grass-finshed beef a couple of years ago and I was very impressed. The consumption of high quality, humanely raised beef is super important to me. This month I tried the Born and Grazed in the USA Box which includes kielbasa, hamburger patties and kabobs. It’s perfect for Labor Day!
Summerfield Farms is located in Guildford County in North Carolina. If you are local, you can order online and pick up in the store. If you are not local, you can have beef delivered to your doorstep as long as you are in the US.

How to Make Sesame Ginger Beef
Mix the ingredients for the sauce. Heat a skillet frying pan over medium/high heat. Add the beef patties into the pan and break them up with a wooden spoon. Alternatively, you could use ground beef. Brown the beef for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Make sure not to cook the beef completely.
Remove your beef from the pan and make sure to drain it. Remove the fat from the pan as well. Place the pan back onto the heat and add the sesame oil, followed by the beef. Then add the sauce. Cook the beef until the sauce thickens a little and the beef is coated. Serve with scallions and sesame seeds. I had mine with some jasmine rice and broccolini.
