Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Beef

    Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Add the sliced beef, mix well, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Aromatics

    Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger. Slice the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Stir-fry the Beef

    Add the marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 6

    Cook Aromatics

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in any remaining marinade, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. 8

    Finish with Green Onions

    Add the green parts of the green onions and toss everything together. Cook for an additional minute.
