A savory dish featuring thinly cut beef coated in cornstarch and cooked with a flavorful sauce made of brown sugar, soy sauce, and ginger. The dish is complemented with garlic and scallions for added flavor.
1: Mince 3 tsp of ginger.
2: Mince 1 bulb of garlic.
3: Cut your scallion 2 inches wide.
4: Cut your beef so it’s 1/4 inch thick and coat it in cornstarch. Let this sit for 15 minutes while you make your sauce.
5: Mix all of your ingredients under 'sauce' and set aside.
6: In a skillet on medium-high heat, heat up some cooking oil (vegetable oil recommended).
7: Pan sear your beef for 2 minutes, flipping halfway through. (Do not overcrowd your skillet. Cook in batches if you must. A non-stick skillet works best.)
8: Once all of your beef is cooked, remove it from heat and set aside.
9: In the same skillet or a new one, heat up a generous amount of oil (medium-high heat).
10: Cook your minced ginger and minced garlic for 10 seconds.
11: Pour in your 'sauce', mix, and add in 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Mix immediately, breaking up any cornstarch clumps.
12: Your sauce will thicken. Once it thickens, add your beef and coat it in the sauce.
13: Add your scallion and combine well. Top with black pepper and enjoy.
