Instructions

Step 1: Whisk 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl to create a sauce.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add 8 oz thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned on the outside but still pink inside; remove and set aside.
Step 3: Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger to the skillet, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 3 cups bok choy and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly wilted.
Step 4: Return beef to skillet, add the sauce mixture, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats ingredients. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sliced almonds if using.
