Instructions

  1. Step 1: Toss 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp sesame oil to create the glaze. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the hot oil, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  5. Step 5: Add the seasoned flank steak slices in a single layer and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned but still tender.
  6. Step 6: Pour the coconut aminos glaze over the beef and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the meat.
  7. Step 7: Remove from heat, sprinkle 2 sliced green onions and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes on top. Serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetables.
