Super Easy Sesame Beef. Tender flank steak stir fried with red peppers and green onions. Better and healthier than takeout!
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak sliced against the grain into strips
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
-
*NOTE: Prep time does not include marinating time*
-
Add both soy sauces, brown sugar and water to a medium bowl and stir to combine.
-
Pour half of the sauce into another bowl and set aside. (We will be using this when we cook the beef)
-
Add steak to the other 1/2 of the sauce and marinade for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
-
When you are ready to cook add sesame oil to a large skillet or wok.
-
Add in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
-
Remove steak from marinade and saute for about 1-2 minutes on each side. (You want the pan to be very hot so the steak cooks quickly and browns.
-
Add red bell pepper and saute for 1 minute.
-
Add in the reserved sauce and bring to a simmer.
-
In a small bowl combine cornstarch and water.
-
Slowly add cornstarch mixture to pan. Continuously stir until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute.
-
Serve immediately with green onions and sesame seeds for garnish if desired.
