Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak with 1 tbsp cornstarch until each piece is lightly coated; set aside.
Step 2: Mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl to create the stir-fry sauce.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked; remove beef and set aside.
Step 4: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp minced ginger, and 3 minced garlic cloves; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5: Add 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup halved baby corn to the pan. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Step 6: Return the beef to the skillet, pour in the prepared sauce, and toss everything together. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
Step 7: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving over steamed rice or noodles.
