Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the flank steak with the cornstarch, tossing to coat well. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Cook the flank steak in batches for 3 to 5 minutes, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Remove the beef and tent with foil on a plate. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of the oil from the pan.
Add the garlic, ginger, and the whites of the green onions to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour the sauce into the skillet, scraping up any brown bits, and bring it to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Return the beef to the skillet, tossing to combine. Garnish with the remaining green onions and serve over rice.

Notes

For added heat, consider including red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha in the sauce.
Serve your Mongolian Beef over steamed rice or noodles for a hearty meal.
Marinating the steak for an hour can enhance the flavor further.
