Instructions

  1. Step 1: Toss 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak with 2 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering; add the beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked, then remove to a plate.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium-high, add 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the wok; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 2 cups trimmed snow peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Return the beef to the wok and stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using; cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and peas.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving.
