Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat and sprinkle with the 2 sliced green onions. Serve hot over rice or noodles.

  6. Step 6

    Optional: add a pinch of red pepper flakes or grated ginger for extra kick.
