  • sesame oil 1 tablespoon
  • dark brown sugar 1½ tablespoons
  • scallions 4
  • flank steak 1 pound

  6. Add the remaining oil to the wok and cook the flank steak over medium high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly caramelized (do not crowd the pan). You may have to do this in batches. Remove from heat and set aside
  7. Add half the marinade to the wok and bring to a boil. Allow it to boil until it is reduced slightly and thickened.
  8. Add the flank steak back into the wok and sprinkle with brown sugar. Continue to stir-fry for 2 additional minutes.
  9. Add the scallions and stir until combined. Serve over steamed jasmine rice.
