"Have all your veggies ready to go-once you start, the cooking goes quickly. If you can't find fresh sugar snap peas, use thawed frozen peas, and add them to the dish when you return the steak to the pan. You can also save time by purchasing toasted sesame seeds at Asian markets. Look for bags of shredded carrots in the produce section of you supermarket. The recipe comes from cooking light."

I will have to try this again. I didn't like the consistency of the sauce with the cornstarch. I made it with a pork tenderloin and loved the freshness of all of the veggies.

I prepared this last night for guests, and it was a hit with everyone (but me)I found the vinegar too overpowering. But obviously that is just my taste. I will try this again, with less vinegar, and maybe sub pork for the flank steak, just for fun. I felt that I should give 4 star, because 4 out of 5 eaters recommend it!
