Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak sliced against the grain and cut into bite size pieces
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup mirin
- ¼ cup brown sugar lightly packed
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 dashes fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon ginger fresh, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss 1 pound flank steak, with ¼ cup cornstarch until the beef is completely coated. Place the bowl in the fridge for 10 minutes while you prepare the sauce and heat the oil.
- In a small bowl combine ½ cup soy sauce, ½ cup mirin, ¼ cup lightly packed brown sugar, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, and 2 dashes fish sauce. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the 3 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the chilled beef to the pan. Cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Add 1 teaspoon minced garlic and ½ teaspoon fresh minced ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the sauce into the pan and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. Slowly pour it into the sauce, whisking constantly. Continue to cook until the sauerkraut thickens to your liking.
- Add the beef back to the pan and toss to coat it in the sauce. Serve immediately. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
