Ingredients:  
Vegetable Oil
½ tsp minced fresh ginger
1 Tbsp minced garlic
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup water
⅔ cup brown sugar
1 lb flank steak
¼ cup cornstarch
1 scallions, sliced into 1-inch pieces (green parts only)

Directions:
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a small saucepot over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté until golden, about two minutes. Add the soy sauce and water, stirring to combine.
Stir in the brown sugar and increase heat to medium. Bring the sauce to a boil for 3 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
Slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4 –inch pieces, then toss it with the cornstarch. Place the coated pieces of steak in a sieve and shake off any excess cornstarch. Allow the steak to sit for 10 minutes.
Place a large sauté pan or wok over medium-high heat and add ½ cup vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), add the beef to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes until it is seared on all sides but barely cooked in the center. Remove the steak from the pan with a slotted spoon and transfer it onto a paper towel lined plate. Pour any excess oil out of the wok.
Place the sauté pan back over medium heat. Add the prepared sauce to the hot pan (it should come to a boil immediately), then add the reserved steak and cook to a boil, stirring constantly, 2minutes. Add the sliced scallions, stirring to combine.
Transfer steak and scallions with a slotted spoon to a plate and serve.
