Description

A savory and quick-to-prepare dish featuring tender flank steak in a glossy soy sauce blend, balancing sweet and salty flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Sliced green onions (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Toss the flank steak with cornstarch and let it sit for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling.
  3. Add the flank steak to the skillet in a single layer and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and brown sugar until dissolved.
  5. Pour the sauce over the beef in the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring to coat the beef evenly.
  6. Serve over rice or noodles, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, allow it to simmer a few extra minutes. Consider adding fresh ginger or garlic for depth of flavor.
