The beef was very thinly sliced and gently marinated, then served raw on a platter with vegetables for each guest to cook on a shared grill at the table. Keeping the delicious, clean flavours, here is a modern take on the traditional dish with everything cooked in a pan instead.

Instructions
Remove the partially frozen beef from the freezer and unwrap the cling film. Using a sharp knife, cut the beef against the grain into 3 mm/ ⅛ in slices, or even thinner if possible.
Put the beef in a large bowl with the soy sauce , sugar , sesame oil , garlic , ginger and onion and mix well. Cover with cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for about 1 hour
Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat, then add the sesame seeds and dry-fry for a few minutes until the seeds begin to pop. Tip onto a plate and leave to one side.
Heat the sunflower oil in a ridged griddle pan or heavy-based frying pan over a high heat. When the oil begins to smoke, add the marinated beef and cook for a few seconds before turning the heat down to medium-high. Spread out the meat in the pan, laying it as flat as possible so it cooks evenly. Cook for 10-15 minutesbeef is browned and tender.
One minute before the end of cooking, add the spring onions . Sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately with boiled rice.
