Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 3: In the same wok, add 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 2 cups trimmed snow peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 5: Return the beef to the wok. Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the mixture and toss everything together for 1 minute until well combined and heated through.
Step 6: Remove from heat, garnish with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving with steamed rice or noodles.
