Ingredients

• 1 lb Flank steak
• 2 medium Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
• 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce substitute*
• 2 tsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Honey
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 3 tbsp Water
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into bite-sized strips. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and slice the yellow onions into thin wedges. Finely mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce substitute, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large, non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the beef slices to the skillet in a single layer. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onions and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir everything together, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and onions.

Step 9

Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and mix well.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired and serve hot over brown rice or steamed vegetables.
