Instructions

Step 1: Toss 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak with 1 tsp cornstarch and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl to lightly coat the beef.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering, then add the beef strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender; remove and set aside.
Step 3: In the same wok, lower heat to medium and add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Stir together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/4 cup water; pour into the wok and bring to a simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes.
Step 5: Return the beef to the wok along with 2 sliced green onions; toss everything together for 1 minute until heated through and glossy with sauce.
