Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the beef
Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Add the beef to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the beef
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Add the beef to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Make the sauce
In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the reserved marinade and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

Combine and serve
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and add green onions. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
