Ingredients

4 servings

For the beef

1 ½ lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain into ¼-inch strips
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ tsp black pepper

For the sauce

½ cup tamari
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup water
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
4 cloves garlic, minced
Chef's tip
Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
6 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces (green parts only)
Ingredient note
The green parts of scallions are low in FODMAPs. Avoid the white bulb which is higher in FODMAPs.

For serving

cooked white rice, for serving
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the flank steak strips dry with paper towels, then toss them in a large bowl with the cornstarch and black pepper until every piece is evenly coated. Let the coated beef rest for 10 minutes so the cornstarch adheres.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, brown sugar, water, grated ginger, and minced garlic until the sugar dissolves. Set the sauce aside.
