Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water until smooth; set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and sear for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until browned but still tender. Remove beef from wok and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 tbsp sesame oil to the wok. Toss in 2 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 8 oz trimmed snow peas and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes; stir-fry for 2 minutes until snow peas are bright green and crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Return the beef to the wok along with the soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry everything together for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving over steamed rice or noodles.
