Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 orange juiced and tested
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
Garnish:
- Orange zest
- Green onions sliced
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Slice the flank steak into 2-inch chunks or into longer, thinner strips across the grain.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together: soy sauce, orange juice, orange zest, grated ginger, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- Add sesame oil to a medium cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil starts to simmer, add the sliced flank steak in one layer. Let it brown nicely for 1-2 minutes without turning it, after that, using tongs to turn beef on the other side to brown for another 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low-medium and add the sauce to the pan.
- Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes until it reduces in about half and it creates a sticky glaze.
- Serve the beef over rice.
- Garnish with fresh orange zest, green onions, and sesame seeds.
