Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 450 g beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach leaves washed
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil or any vegetable oil.
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes optional, to add heat.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients:

  • Thinly slice the beef sirloin into bite-sized strips.
  • Wash and drain the spinach leaves. Set aside.
  • Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Sear the Beef:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the thinly sliced beef sirloin in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned but still tender.
  • Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Onions and Garlic:

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

.Add the Spinach and Sauces:

  • Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir to wilt the spinach, which should take 1-2 minutes.
  • Return the seared beef to the skillet.
  • Pour in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar (if using), stirring to coat the beef and spinach in the sauce.
  • Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through and the spinach is fully wilted.

Season and Serve:

  • Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer some heat, sprinkle in the red pepper flakes.
  • Serve the sautéed beef and spinach immediately, either on its own or with rice, noodles, or a side salad.
