Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the beef

Place the flank steak in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up (this makes it easier to slice thinly). Remove from freezer and slice against the grain into 1/4-inch thick strips.

2
Tenderize and coat the beef

Place beef strips in a bowl. Add cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes to tenderize.

3
Prepare the garlic

Peel the garlic cloves. Mince finely.

4
Prepare the ginger

Peel the ginger. Mince finely.

5
Prepare the green onions

Wash thoroughly. Trim off roots and any wilted parts. Cut into 2-inch pieces, separating white and green parts.

6
Make the sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, red pepper flakes, hoisin sauce, and white pepper until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

7
Heat the wok

Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil. Heat until oil is shimmering but not smoking.

8
Fry the beef

Working in 2-3 batches to avoid overcrowding, add beef strips to the hot oil. Spread them out in a single layer. Fry for 1-2 minutes until edges are crispy and browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining beef.

9
Drain excess oil

Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the wok. Return wok to medium-high heat.

10
Sauté aromatics

Add minced garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onions to the wok. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

11
Add the sauce

Pour the prepared sauce into the wok. Bring to a boil. Cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce begins to thicken.

12
Return beef to wok

Add the fried beef strips back to the wok. Toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until beef is heated through and sauce has thickened further.

13
Add green onions

Add the green parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until just wilted.

14
Finish with sesame oil

Drizzle sesame oil over the dish. Toss to combine.

15
Garnish

Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

16
Serve

Transfer to a serving plate. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
