- 1 teaspoon cornstarch -
- 4 scallions, sliced on the bias -
instructions:
- this is a '3 in 1 meal'.

- season the steak with salt pepper to taste, then add it along with the cornstarch to a large ziploc bag. seal the bag and toss to coat. shake off excess cornstarch and place strips on a sheet tray lined with aluminum foil for about 10 - 15 minutes to allow cornstarch to adhere to the steak. add steak to hot oil and stir-fry briefly until crispy. discard oil. place the pan back on the burner to get hot again.
- in a mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, water, sesame seed oil and cornstarch.
