1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sriracha, garlic, and ginger.
3. In another small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
4. Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Add the beef and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through.
6. Pour the sauce into the skillet and toss to coat the beef evenly.
7. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

9. Top each bowl with the beef, carrots, cucumber, avocado, green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro.

Notes
Slice the beef as thinly as possible for the most tender texture.
Cook the beef in a hot skillet so it sears quickly instead of steaming.
Store the fresh toppings separately if making the bowls ahead for meal prep.
