Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak, sliced against the grain into thin strips
- 1 cup soy sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil

- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water

Instructions
- In a slow cooker, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir until well mixed.
