- 3/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup oil
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 Tablespoons fresh ginger (or 1 t ginger powder)

Instructions
- Cut beef into thin pieces, against the grain.
- Place cornstarch and salt in a bowl. Coat and cover the beef with cornstarch mixture. Repeat to ensure it is completely coated.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 350 degrees).
- Cook for 2-4 minutes or until beef starts to get a little crispy on the edges. Repeat.
- Remove beef and let it rest.
- Remove most of the oil, leaving some behind. Saute garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and red chili flakes. Bring to a boil and let boil for 4-5 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 10-12 minutes or until it is thickened. Stir in beef and coat with sauce.
- Garnish with green onions and shredded carrots, if so desired.
