Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound thinly sliced flank steak seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender; remove beef from pan and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 cups shredded green cabbage and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until cabbage softens but retains some crunch.
  4. Step 4: Return cooked beef to the pan. Add 4 tablespoons coconut aminos, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss everything together and cook for 2 more minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
