Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the flank steak and the cornstarch, tossing to coat well. 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 oil until shimmering. Cook the beef in batches, avoiding overcrowding, for about 3 to 5 minutes per batch. Remove the beef and tent with foil on a plate, draining the pan of all but 1 tablespoon of oil.
In the same skillet, sauté the garlic, ginger, and the whites of the green onions until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Pour the sauce into the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Bring it to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Return the beef to the pan, tossing to combine, and garnish with the green onion greens before serving over rice.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the flank steak marinate in the cornstarch mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
Serve with steamed rice or noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated for a quick meal.
