Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice 12 oz flank steak thinly against the grain into 1/4-inch strips and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the steak strips in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove steak and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp erythritol, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Cook sauce for 1 minute until slightly thickened.
  5. Step 5: Return the steak strips to the skillet along with 1/2 cup sliced water chestnuts if using, and 2 chopped green onions. Toss everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes until beef is cooked through and sauce coats all ingredients.
  6. Step 6: Serve hot as a low-carb main dish.
