Ingredients

1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
2 cups green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine sliced beef, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, water, minced garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Green Beans: In the same pan, add the green beans and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
