Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the flank steak and the cornstarch, tossing to ensure the flank steak is well coated. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Cook the beef in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan, for about 3 to 5 minutes until browned. Remove the beef, transfer it to a plate, and tent with foil.
Drain the skillet, leaving 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the whites of the green onions, sautéing until fragrant without burning the garlic.
Add the prepared sauce to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Return the beef to the skillet, tossing to combine. Garnish with remaining green onions and serve over rice.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the flank steak in soy sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for added nutrition.
