Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water until smooth; set the sauce aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Add 12 oz thinly sliced beef sirloin to the wok in a single layer; stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is just browned on the edges.
Step 4: Toss in 4 scallions cut into 2-inch pieces and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes; stir for 1 minute until scallions soften slightly.
Step 5: Pour the prepared soy glaze over the beef mixture and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef evenly.
Step 6: Finish by drizzling 1 tbsp sesame oil over the stir-fry, toss gently, and remove from heat immediately to preserve flavor and moisture.
