Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced beef and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Season with sea salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 7

Return the beef to the skillet and toss everything together.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the beef or chicken broth with balsamic vinegar.

Step 9

Pour the broth mixture into the skillet, stirring to coat the beef and vegetables.

Step 10

Bring to a simmer, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce, about 2 minutes.

Step 11

Mix the cornstarch with cold water in a separate small bowl to create a slurry.

Step 12

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
