Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon fresh garlic
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup brown sugar, do not pack
3/4 lb flank steak
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 bunch green onion, cut in 1 1/2 in strips
cooked rice

Directions

1

Slice the flank steak against the grain and toss in 1/4 cup of cornstarch. (I use a large zip loc bag)
2

Make sauce: Heat 1/2 tsp olive oil, add ginger and garlic. Cook but don't burn. Add the soy sauce, water and brown sugar - bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and place sauce in a separate bowl.
3

Add 1 tsp oil and brown beef (if the beef seems oily you might want to take it out of the skillet and let drain on a paper towel)
4

Add sauce, green onions and cook through
5

Serve with rice.
