Step-by-Step Instructions

Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips, about ¼ inch thick.
In a bowl, mix together the sliced flank steak, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil until well-coated.
Transfer the beef mixture to the slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry, stir it into the slow cooker, and cook for an additional 30 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Serve the tender beef with sauce and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Pair with rice or noodles.
