Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak with 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
  3. Step 3: Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef from pan and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium-high and add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger to the pan. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Return the beef to the pan along with 4 sliced scallions, 1/2 tsp red chili flakes, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until beef is cooked through and sauce coats the meat.
