Ingredients
Marinade
- 1 lb flank steak See Note 1
- 2 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
Sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1/3 cup Regular soy sauce
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
Stir Fry
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- 5 dried red chili peppers optional
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 8 scallions cut into 1-inch long slices
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Frying
- 1/3 cup cornstarch for beef
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a bowl mix together the sliced beef, oil, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Marinate for 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, hot water, soy sauces and sesame oil.
- In another small bowl mix the cornstarch and water slurry for the sauce.
- Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil in the wok over high heat. Just before the oil starts to smoke, dredge the marinated beef slices in 1/3 cup of cornstarch until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Transfer the flank steak to the wok, and sear for 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces over and sear the other side for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove beef to a bowl.
- Turn the heat to medium-high. Add the garlic, ginger and dried chili peppers. After about 15 seconds, add the sauce.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes and slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry mixture. Cook until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. If too thick, add tablespoon or two of water.
- Add the beef and scallions to the wok and toss everything together for another 30 seconds. Serve with steamed rice.
Notes
- Slice the flank steak into 3 long pieces cutting with the grain. Then slice each piece against the grain into 1/4-inch thick pieces (as shown). If preferred, slice into 1/4-inch pieces on the diagonal.
