Description
A tender flank steak simmered in a sweet and savory sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or entertaining friends.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds flank steak (thinly sliced against the grain)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Toss the thinly sliced flank steak in cornstarch for a crispier texture.
- Combine with sesame oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, and water in a slow cooker.
