Instructions

1. Step 1: Trim excess fat from 12 oz flank steak and slice into 1/4-inch strips against the grain. Place in a bowl and toss with 3 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Marinate for 10 minutes while preparing vegetables.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned but still slightly pink inside. Transfer to a plate.
3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup sliced carrots. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender and bright green.
4. Step 4: Return beef to the skillet with 1/4 cup reserved marinade. Stir in 1 tbsp mirin and cook for 1 minute until sauce bubbles and thickens slightly.
5. Step 5: Divide 2 cups cooked brown rice between bowls. Top with beef and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
