Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak thinly sliced across the grain
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

FOR THE SOY SAUCE MIXTURE

  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine flank steak and cornstarch.

  • Add beef and soy sauce mixture to the skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in green onions.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds, if desired.

FOR THE SOY SAUCE MIXTURE

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and vegetable oil. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5-10 minutes. Set aside.
