Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak seasoned with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender; remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 spiralized medium zucchinis and 3 tbsp soy sauce, tossing quickly to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until zucchini noodles are just tender but not soggy.
  4. Step 4: Return the cooked beef to the skillet, add 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and toss everything together for another minute to combine flavors.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds over the dish, and serve immediately.
