Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the coated steak in a single layer and cook until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add ginger and garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer.
  7. Return the browned steak to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Stir in the sliced green onions.
  9. Serve immediately over rice.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the ginger and garlic.
  • Ensure your wok or skillet is hot before adding the steak for a good sear.
  • Slice the steak thinly against the grain for tenderness.
