Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 3 green onions chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with cornstarch until evenly coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the cornstarch.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the beef and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Return the beef to the skillet and toss to coat it in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  • Stir in the chopped green onions just before serving.
  • Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, substitute the brown sugar with a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol.
  • You can also add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for extra nutrition and color.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add sliced jalapeños.
