Cooking Instructions

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 3–5 minutes.
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, brown sugar, and water.
Add the sliced flank steak to the marinade and allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Pour about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil into your preheated skillet and let it heat up for 2–3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds.
Carefully place the marinated flank steak into the skillet in a single layer and let cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes.
Stir the beef gently and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until fully cooked and crispy.
Remove from skillet and serve hot over cooked white rice.
Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
