Thinly slice flank steak or sirloin, then toss with cornstarch and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of high-smoke point oil in a large wok over high heat until shimmering.

Return cooked beef to the pan, pour soy sauce over and stir to combine; cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
