Ingredients​

​

​

• ▢1 pound flank steak
• ▢1/4 cup cornstarch
• ▢1/4 cup canola oil
• ▢2 teaspoons fresh ginger , minced
• ▢1 tablespoon garlic , minced
• ▢1/3 cup lite soy sauce , low sodium
• ▢1/3 cup water
• ▢1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• ▢4 stalks scallions , green parts only, cut into 2 inch pieces

Instructions​

• Slice the flank steak against the grain (the grain is the length of the steak) the long way in 1/4 inch thick pieces and add it to a ziploc bag with the cornstarch.
• 
  
• Press the steak around in the bag making sure each piece is fully coated with cornstarch and leave it to sit.
• 
  
• Add the canola oil to a large frying pan and heat on medium high heat.
• Add the steak, shaking off any excess corn starch, to the pan in a single layer and cook on each side for 1 minute.
• If you need to cook the steak in batches because your pan isn't big enough do that rather than crowding the pan, you want to get a good sear on the steak, and if you crowd the pan, your steak with steam instead of sear.
• When the steak is done cooking remove it from the pan.
• Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and sauté for 10-15 seconds.
• Add the soy sauce, water and dark brown sugar to the pan and let it come to a boil.
• Add the steak back in and let the sauce thicken for 20-30 seconds.
• The cornstarch we used on the steak should thicken the sauce, if you find it isn't thickening enough add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir to dissolve the cornstarch and add it to the pan.
• Add the green onions, stir to combine everything, and cook for a final 20-30 seconds.
• Serve immediately.
