Instructions

Step 1: Slice 12 oz flank steak thinly against the grain. Whisk 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp gochujang paste, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar in a bowl. Add the steak and marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add the marinated beef and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove beef and set aside. Add 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup sliced carrots to the skillet, stir-frying for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
Step 4: Return beef to skillet, add the marinade sauce, and stir to coat. Cook for 2 more minutes until sauce thickens. Sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds. Serve over 4 cups cooked rice.
