Instructions

Marinate the beef: Begin by thinly slicing the flank steak against the grain into 1/2-inch thick, 2-inch long strips. Place the strips into a freezer bag or medium bowl, then stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Let this marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of ground ginger. Set this savory sauce aside.
Cook the beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large, deep skillet or wok over high heat. Add half of the marinated beef and fry for about 3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside. Cook the remaining beef the same way.
Stir fry the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the broccoli, carrots, snow peas, and red bell pepper. Stir fry for about 2 minutes until vibrant and slightly tender.
Combine beef and sauce: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in your prepared sauce. Stir everything together, allowing it to heat thoroughly for about 1 to 3 minutes.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the sliced green onion and toasted sesame seeds on top. Serve over rice, noodles, or potatoes.

Notes

For extra spice, consider adding red pepper flakes to the sauce; adjust sweetness to taste.
