• 11/2 pounds lean flank steak

For the marinade

• 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice wine
• 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons coconut sugar or 1 teaspoon (4 g) stevia in the raw
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1/2 cup sliced green onion, cut diagonally
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• olive oil spray
• garnish: green onion, sliced diagonally; 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Method

1. Slice the steak into thin pieces against the grain at an angle
2. You should end up with pieces that are about 1/4 inch thick and 4 inches long
3. The length may vary depending on the distance from the center of the steak to the end
4. To make the marinade, in a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, sugar, sesame seeds, green onion, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using)
5. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a separate bowl
6. Add the steak to the marinade in the large bowl and push it down to ensure that it is fully covered
7. Marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the fridge with an airtight lid
8. Set a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray very lightly with olive oil
9. When the skillet is hot, add about half the slices of steak
10. Remember to lay the pieces flat, side by side, but do not overcrowd the skillet
11. The steak needs a little breathing room to caramelize
12. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side
13. Set the cooked steak aside and repeat with the remaining steak
14. When the second batch of steak is nearly finished cooking on the second side, add the first batch back in and drizzle the reserved marinade over all the steak pieces
15. Adjust the heat of the skillet as necessary
16. Flank steak is fairly lean, so it will cook quickly and you want to avoid burning the marinade
17. Remove from the heat, garnish, and enjoy over a serving of Basic AF Cauliflower Rice with mixed sauteed or steamed vegetables (such as bell peppers, sugar snap peas, or broccoli)
18. Repeat
