Ingredients

Beef:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons mirin
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 16 oz flank steak cut into thin pieces against the grain
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ginger fresh, peeled, sliced into thin pieces, 1-inch piece
  • 6 green onions cut into 1-inch lengths
Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce low sodium

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, miring, sugar and sesame oil. Whisk in the cornstarch to combine.
  2. Stir the sliced beef into the mixture. Set aside and let it marinate for 15-30 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Working in batches, brown the meat. Be careful to not overcrowd the skillet. Remove to a plate while you finish cooking the beef. Add another tablespoon of oil as needed while browning the beef.
  4. While the beef is cooking, make the sauce by combining the brown sugar, water and soy sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
  5. When the beef has been browned and removed from the skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the green onion and stir to combine. Add the beef back into the skillet. Stir the sauce into the skillet. Cook for a few minutes to thicken up the sauce, scraping the bits off the bottom of the skillet as it cooks.
  6. Serve warm over rice.
