Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Flank Steak

    Trim any excess fat from the flank steak and slice it against the grain into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic (finely chop or press), and grated ginger. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Beef

    Place the sliced flank steak into the marinade, cover, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Coat with Cornstarch

    Remove the marinated beef from the refrigerator and sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly.

  2. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 6

    Cook the Beef

    Add the coated beef to the skillet in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for about 2-3 minutes without stirring, allowing it to sear. Flip the beef and cook for another 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 7

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, then stir in any remaining marinade. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken slightly for about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 8

    Combine and Serve

    Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce until fully coated. Add chopped green onions and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute. Serve hot over steamed rice.
