Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free soy sauce
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 Green onions, sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Slice the flank steak into thin strips against the grain for maximum tenderness. Pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

2. In a large bowl, toss the beef strips with cornstarch until they are evenly coated.

Step 3

3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

4. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the beef strips in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned and crispy. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining beef.

Step 5

5. In another large skillet or in the same cleaned wok, combine gluten-free soy sauce, brown sugar, water, minced ginger, and minced garlic over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to simmer.

Step 6

6. Add the cooked beef to the sauce and stir well to coat every piece thoroughly. Cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

7. Stir in the sliced green onions, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to heat through and combine flavors.

Step 8

8. Garnish the dish with sesame seeds before serving.

Step 9

9. Serve hot, ideally with steamed rice or a side of vegetables.
