Ingredients
Scale

- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 cup soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions, green parts only

- Slice flank steak into strips, cutting against the grain. Place beef strips into a bowl and toss with cornstarch to coat lightly. Shake off any excess.
- Heat remaining oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add beef and cook until well browned on each side, working in batches if necessary.
