Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and toss to coat. Marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and just cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 stalks scallions cut into 2-inch pieces and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Stir-fry for an additional 1 minute until scallions are bright and slightly softened.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
