Instructions
Mix the Sauce
Whisk together soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl and set aside. Make sure the flank steak is sliced as thin as possible for quick cooking.
Sear the Beef
Heat avocado oil in a wok or large skillet over the highest heat possible until nearly smoking. Add beef in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes without stirring, then toss and cook 1 more minute.
Add Garlic and Sauce
Add minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour the sauce over the beef and toss everything together for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce coats the beef and caramelizes slightly.
Serve Immediately
Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
