Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. Sesame seeds

  • 2 Green onions chopped

  • 3 tbsp. Sesame oil

  • 1/2 tsp. Red pepper flakes

  • 1 cup Brown sugar packed

  • 1 tsp. Ginger minced

  • 4 cloves Garlic minced

  • 2/3 cup Water

  • 1 cup Soy sauce low sodium

  • 2 tbsp. Rice vinegar

  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch

  • 2 pounds Flank steak cut into thin strips

Method

  • 01
    Prepare the beef: In a large bowl toss the flank steak strips with the cornstarch together and let them sit for 5 minutes. This will ensure the cornstarch penetrates the beef.
  • 02
    Make the sauce: In a medium-size bowl add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, water, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, red pepper flakes and whisk well. Set aside.
  • 03
    Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting. (See your manufacturer's guide for detailed instructions on how to use your instant pot.)
  • 04
    Add some sesame oil to the pot. When the oil is hot add half of the flank steak and cook 2 - 3 minutes until it turns brown. Remove from the pot and repeat with remaining sesame oil and beef. Return the beef to the pot and press the cancel button.
  • 05
    Pour the sauce over the beef and stir well.
  • 06
    Close the lid. Set the Instant Pot to the Manual setting and set the timer to 10 minutes. When cooking is complete, use a quick release to depressurize. Stir in the green onions and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve over rice.
