Ginger Beef
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank or sirloin steak
- ¾ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup water
- 2 medium carrots sliced into matchsticks
- 1 green bell pepper sliced into matchsticks
- 1 green onion chopped
- ¼ cup fresh ginger finely chopped or grated
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp white vinegar
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil

Instructions
- Slice steak across the grain into narrow strips.
- Place cornstarch in a large mixing bowl. Add water gradually while you are whisking. Beat eggs into cornstarch mixture. Toss in beef and stir to coat.
- Pour 1 inch of oil into wok, heat to boiling hot, but not smoking. Add a quarter of the beef to the oil at a time. Separate with a fork and cook, stirring frequently, until crispy. Remove, drain on parchment and set aside. (This much can be done in advance.)
- Put oil in wok. Add carrots, bell pepper, onion, ginger and garlic in that order. Stir briefly over high heat.
