Equipment

  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lb flank steak, cut into thin strips
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¾ cup water
  • ¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil, or any neutral oil of your choice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup brown sugar (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 2 tsp Sesame seeds for garish
  • 4 green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  • Make the sauce: Mix the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, avocado oil, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  • Coat the meat: Place the sliced flank steak and the cornstarch in a large zipper bag. Close it and shake it so all the meat slices are well coated with cornstarch.
  • Place the sliced flank steak, diced onion, and shredded carrots in the pot of the slow cooker.
  • Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables, stir, and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or on low for 4-5 hours. Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature of the beef reaches at least 145 F. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top and serve over freshly cooked rice.

Notes

For a richer flavor, brown the steak slices in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side before adding them to the slow cooker.
