Instructions

Freeze the steak for about 45-60 minutes first to make it easier to slice thinly.
Slice the steak against the grain into ¼-inch thick pieces.
Whisk together soy sauce and cornstarch in a medium mixing bowl.
Add in the beef slices and marinate for about 30 minutes.
Place a non-stick skillet on medium-high heat, add the oil, minced garlic, and ginger.
Sauté the minced ginger and garlic for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Turn the heat to high, and add the thin beef slices together with the marinade. Make sure not to crowd the pan (cook in batches if needed).
Cook the beef for about 2 minutes, turning pieces to cook all sides.
Add brown sugar, beef broth, and green onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes (taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings according to your own preference). Remove from heat. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

To get the neatest cut, try freezing the steak for about an hour. When it’s frozen, it’ll be much easier to accurately slice it into ultra-thin slices.
Marinate the thin-sliced steak before cooking: Marinating your steak will lead to a more tender texture and lots of umami flavor for this Asian-inspired dish.
This beef cooks quickly over high heat. Be careful not to overcook.
