Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb flank steak thinly sliced
  • 12 oz green beans trimmed
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil
  • sesame seeds and rice to serve

Method
 

  1. Whisk the soy sauce, honey, ginger, and sesame oil into a sauce.
  2. Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over high heat and sear the beef in a single layer, 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate.
  3. In the same pan, cook the green beans and garlic 4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  4. Return the beef and sauce to the pan, toss 1 minute until glossy, and serve over rice with sesame seeds.

Notes

Do not crowd the pan — sear in two batches if needed so the beef browns instead of steaming.
