Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the same pan. Sauté 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 3 spiralized medium zucchinis and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  3. Step 3: Return the beef to the pan, pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce and sprinkle 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. Toss everything together and cook for another minute until heated through and well coated.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
