Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the flank steak and cornstarch, tossing to coat thoroughly. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, and additional cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the steak in batches for 3 to 5 minutes after the oil shimmers. Remove from the pan and tent with foil, leaving 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet.
Sauté minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions in the oil until fragrant, avoiding burning the garlic.
Pour the sauce into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring it to a simmer and cook for about 1 minute until thickened. Return the beef to the skillet, toss to combine, and garnish with the green onion tops. Serve over rice.

Notes

For an added kick, consider adding some red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Adjust the sweetness by altering the amount of brown sugar to your taste.
Serve with steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
