Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the 1 lb sliced beef in a single layer and cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes until browned on one side.
Step 3
Stir the beef and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until it is browned all over and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes total.
Step 4
Pour the sauce over the beef and stir constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef, turning glossy.
Step 5
Remove from heat and sprinkle with the 2 sliced green onions. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Step 6
Optional: add a pinch of red pepper flakes or grated ginger for extra kick.
