Sometimes for me to buy a specialty ingredient, it might have to have popped up in at least three or four recipes I have wanted to try. Sesame oil is one such product that back as a newlywed I may have been skeptical to splurge on (cabinet space as well as cash), but I am so pleased I did. For giving dishes an edge that makes it feel more restaurant-quality, it is what you want! I used it in this korean beef, but we also use it in some of our other regulars like better than takeout chicken fried rice.
This recipe is just a good, inexpensive weeknight dinner. It is a reader favorite!
