Instructions
Slightly freeze steak, so it's easier to slice into 1/8" thin pieces, cut against the grain and cut into 2" lengths.
Marinade
In a medium bowl combine marinade ingredients. Add the sliced steak. Toss to coat. Cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours, stored in the fridge.While the meat is in the marinade, prep the veggies. Start cooking the rice according to directions on package, cover to keep warm. Also, during this time toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat. Shake skillet side to side once or twice until seeds are browned. Put browned seeds in a bowl and set aside.
Sauce
Combine sauce ingredients. Whisk until well blended. Set aside.
Stir Fry
Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok, over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add half the steak, in a single layer. Cook until browned on one side and a bit crisp around the edges. Turn the slices over and continue cooking for 1-2 more minutes, until no longer pink. Remove to a plate and keep warm by covering. Repeat process with remaining steak, until all of it has been browned. Set steak aside, keeping warm by covering.
Add 1 Tablespoon oil into the same pan. Add the broccoli, carrots, and onion and over medium-high heat stir fry 4-5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the garlic, ginger, water chestnuts, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté, stirring constantly until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices. Whisk the sauce again to fully blend then add sauce to the skillet also. Cook, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve over hot cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.Enjoy!!!
