Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 cups Cooked brown rice

Directions

Step 1

Slice the flank steak thinly across the grain into bite-sized strips. Pat the slices dry with paper towels to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, water, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well until the sugar and cornstarch dissolve, forming a smooth sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steak slices in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side or until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared sauce into the same skillet. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the cooked steak back into the skillet, stirring to coat the pieces evenly with the sauce. Toss in the green onions and sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the steak is fully cooked and the onions are slightly wilted.

Step 6

Serve hot over a bed of cooked brown rice for a complete meal. Optionally, garnish with additional green onion slices or sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
