Ingredients
Scale
1 lb. skirt steak, thinly sliced
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. plus 1 tbsp. canola oil, divided
1 lb. green beans, trimmed
3 cloves garlic, minced
3" piece of ginger, peeled and grated
1/4 c. soy sauce
1 tbsp. rice apple vinegar
3 tbsp. sugar
2 green onions, chopped
1 tbsp. sesame seeds
Instructions
Start by placing the beef in a large mixing bowl. Pat it dry with paper towels and season it with salt and pepper before tossing it with cornstarch until well coated.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle 1 teaspoon of oil and sauté the green beans for about a minute before adding 2 tablespoons of water and covering the skillet to steam them for another minute.
Return your skillet to high heat and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. When it’s almost smoking, add in the beef strips and stir-fry for about 2 to 3 minutes until they’re nearly cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium and add garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Stir quickly to coat all the beef pieces evenly and toss in your green beans again. Finish off by sprinkling with chopped green onions and sesame seeds right before serving.
