Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 10 oz thinly sliced flank steak with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove. Marinate for 20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, toss 1 cup shredded napa cabbage, 1/2 cup julienned carrot, 2 thinly sliced green onions, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds until crisp and lightly dressed.
  4. Step 4: Warm 2 large flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 20 seconds per side until flexible.
  5. Step 5: Divide the cooked sesame beef equally between the tortillas and top each with half of the ginger-soy slaw.
  6. Step 6: Fold the bottom edge over the filling and roll tightly from one side. Serve immediately for a fresh Asian-inspired wrap.

How do I store leftover Asian-Inspired Sesame Beef Wrap with Ginger-Soy Slaw?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep flank steak from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Asian-Inspired Sesame Beef Wrap with Ginger-Soy Slaw?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Asian-Inspired Sesame Beef Wrap with Ginger-Soy Slaw for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
