2 pounds flank steak, sliced

1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced

Cooking instruction summary:

In a small saucepot, over medium heat, add 2 tsp. of vegetable oil and sauté ginger and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce, water, and brown sugar and stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil and let boil for 3 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.

In a large bowl, toss sliced flank steak with cornstarch, shaking off the excess. Place in fridge for 10 minutes to allow coating to stick better on the beef.

After 10 minutes, in a heavy bottom saucepan, over medium high heat, add ½ cup of vegetable oil and add the beef to the pan, in batches, to sear the outside on all sides, but barely cooked in the middle. Remove and let drain on paper towels as you finish up the rest of the beef. Pour out any excess oil in the saucepan.

Place the saucepan back on the burner, but on medium heat, and pour in the sauce from earlier. It should come to a boil immediately. Add in the steak and coat with the sauce. Continue cooking beef and sauce at a boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. The sauce will thicken gradually. Add in the scallions.

Serve hot over white or brown rice.

Place leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Food Joke

The unhappy woman One day, whilst Hette Levine was out shopping in Brent Cross, she noticed an old lady sitting on a bench sobbing her eyes out. Hette stopped and asked her what was wrong. The old lady said, "I have a 22 year old husband at home. He makes love to me every morning and then gets up and makes me pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit and freshly ground coffee." Hette said, "Well, then why are you crying?" The old lady continued, "He makes me homemade soup for lunch and my favourite cake and then makes love to me for half the afternoon". Hette asked again, "Well, why are you crying?" The old lady continued, "For dinner he makes me a gourmet meal with wine and my favourite dessert and then makes love to me until 2 o’clock in the morning. Hette asked yet again, "Well, why in the world would you be crying?" The old lady replied, "I can`t remember where I live!"
