Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 3/4 tsp grated fresh ginger (could easily swap out 1/4 tsp of ground ginger instead)
  • 1 Tbsp garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • approximately 1 cup vegetable oil (,for frying your steak)
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce (these last two ingredients are optional (but I enjoyed the extra flavor))

Instruction

  • Slice your steak into strips, pat dry, place into ziploc bag. Add cornstarch, 2 Tbsp soy sauce and 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce to the bag, seal tightly, and smoosh around until the meat is coated. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tsp. vegetable oil in small saucepan over medium low heat. Add ginger, and garlic, cook for 20 seconds, then add 1/2 cup soy sauce and 1/2 cup water.
  • Dissolve brown sugar into sauce and bring to a boil. Boil gently for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken. Set aside to keep warm.
  • Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add beef and saute for 30 seconds - 1 minute per side. It doesn't matter if the beef isn't finished cooking yet, it'll continue to cook in the remaining steps.
  • Remove beef to drain on a paper towel. Drain oil from pan.
  • Place pan back on medium heat and slide your beef back in. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Add your sauce to the pan, cook for 1 minute. Add green onions, cook for 20 seconds.
  • Remove beef and onions to serving platter and reserve sauce in a bowl for drizzling over the meat.
