Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Beef Flank or Top Sirloin
  • 2 tablespoon Oil (avocado or olive)
  • ¼ cup Corn Starch
  • ⅓ cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • ⅓ cup Water
  • ⅓ cup Brown Sugar (packed)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger (minced)
  • ¼ cup Green Onions (sliced)

Instructions
 

  • Slice the beef into ⅛ inch thick pieces, cutting against the grain for tenderness.
  • In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Coat the sliced beef with corn starch for a crispy texture.
  • In a preheated pan with oil, cook the beef in small batches without crowding, then set aside once browned.
  • Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  • Pour the sauce ingredients into the pan and let simmer for about a minute.
  • Return the cooked beef to the pan, mixing it well with the sauce and simmering until everything is heated through.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions on top and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a unique twist, swap in your favorite vegetables or proteins.
  • Ideal served with steamed rice or fried rice.
