One Pan Beef and Scallions
This One Pan Beef and Scallions is a quick, flavor-packed stir-fry that brings bold, savory flavor to your weeknight table. Tender slices of beef are seared until golden, then tossed with caramelized scallions in a glossy, umami-rich sauce made with soy, garlic, ginger, and a touch of honey. It’s perfectly balanced — salty, slightly sweet, and deeply aromatic — and comes together in under 30 minutes with minimal cleanup. Serve it over rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables for a cozy, satisfying meal that tastes like takeout but feels homemade.
