Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb skirt steak (or flank steak), thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp canola oil, divided
  • 1 lb green beans, trimmed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3” piece of ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice apple vinegar
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, pat the beef dry and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss in cornstarch until evenly coated.

  3. Increase heat to high and add the remaining tablespoon of canola oil to the skillet. Sear the beef strips for about 2 to 3 minutes until browned but slightly pink in the center.
  4. Reduce heat to medium; add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, cooking until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  5. Pour in soy sauce, rice apple vinegar, and sugar; stir well to coat the beef.
  6. Fold in green beans and cook for another minute until heated through.
  7. Serve topped with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
