Soy-Glazed Flank Steak with Blistered Green Beans

If desired, trim and cut green beans in half diagonally. Trim fat from meat. Thinly slice meat across the grain into bite-size strips. In a small bowl combine garlic and ginger.

In an extra-large skillet or wok heat 2 Tbsp. of the oil over medium-high heat. Add green beans; cook and stir 7 to 8 minutes or until blistered and brown in spots. Remove beans and drain on paper towels.

If necessary, add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to hot skillet. Add garlic mixture; cook and stir 30 seconds. Add meat, half at a time; cook and stir 3 minutes or until slightly pink in center. Return all of the meat to skillet. Add the next five ingredients (through chili paste); cook and stir 1 minute. Return beans; cook and stir 2 minutes more or until heated through.

If desired, sprinkle meat mixture with sesame seeds and/or serve with rice sprinkled with herbs, chopped green onion, and/or coarse salt.
