Mongolian Beef


You will need -

1 lb flank steak (I get the kind that has been tenderized)
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon oil
4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup oil
1 tablespoon corn starch 
sliced green onions 

To prepare -

Slice flank steak thinly against the grain and toss with cornstarch.  Set aside.
Heat oil in sauce pan, add garlic and ginger and cook for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly.
Add red pepper, soy sauce, water, and brown sugar.
Turn heat down to medium low and let simmer. 
Fry steak in batches in oil for 3 minutes.
Add steak to sauce. 
Combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water, add to sauce, and cook on high for 1 minute.  (Sauce will thicken very quickly.)
Serve over rice, top with green onions and enjoy! 

Makes 4 servings.
