Steps
Sequence
Step
1
In a small heat proof bowl combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar and red pepper flakes. In another bowl toss cornstarch with steak and let it sit for 10 minutes or so.
2
Heat half of canola oil in a wok over medium heat. (I just used a big frying pan and tad more oil.) Add ginger and garlic and saute for about 30 seconds and then pour in soy mixture. Bring to a boil and allow to cook 2-3 minutes. Pour back into bowl.
3
Add the rest of the oil to the empty wok/skillet and brown the beef over medium-high heat. Once the meat is browned pour the sauce back into the wok/skillet. Continue to cook until the sauce is thickened to your liking. I like it thick so I cooked it for several minutes. Add onions and steamed broccoli at the end so they will still be a little crunchy.
