Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium red onion
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips, about 1/4-inch in thickness.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced flank steak to the mixture, toss to coat, and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the steak marinates, prepare the tomato onion jam. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and the mixture has thickened into a jam-like consistency. Set aside.

Step 6

Finely mince the garlic and ginger. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the marinated flank steak to the hot skillet in a single layer. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the steak is seared and cooked through.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to medium and add the tomato onion jam to the skillet. Toss to coat the steak in the jam and cook for another 2 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 10

Serve immediately with steamed rice or your favorite side, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
