In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, stevia or erythritol, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add the sliced flank steak and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, while you prepare other ingredients.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add marinated steak slices to the hot skillet, reserving the marinade. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the steak is browned. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and add cauliflower rice. Cook for about 5 minutes until tender but not mushy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, until lightly tender.
Return the steak to the skillet along with the reserved marinade, cooked cauliflower rice, and cooked zucchini noodles.
Add chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is fully heated and well incorporated.
Serve hot, garnished with additional sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
