Our family loves to go out to eat!
But now that we are quarantined, we’ve been cooking A LOT!!!!
Tonight, we made an oldie but goodie that I found on recipezaar.com by tish but I can’t find the website anymore. If anyone can find it, let me know so I can give her credit.

Instructions
- Make the sauce by heating 2 tsp of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over med/low heat. Don't get the oil too hot.
- Add ginger and garlic to the pan and quickly add the soy sauce and water before the garlic scorches.
- Dissolve the brown sugar in the sauce, then raise the heat to about medium and boil the sauce for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
- Slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4" thick bite-size slices. Tilt the blade of your knife at about a 45° angle to the top of the steak so that you get wider cuts.
- Dip the steak pieces into the cornstarch to apply a very thin dusting to both sides of each piece of beef.
- Let the beef sit for about 10 minutes so that the cornstarch sticks.
- As the beef sits, heat up one cup of oil in a wok (you may also use a skillet for the step as long as the beef will be mostly covered with oil).
- Heat the oil over medium heat until it's nice and hot, but not smoking.
- Add the beef to the oil and sauté for just two minutes, or until the beef just begins to darken on the edges. You don't need a thorough cooking here since the beef is going to go back on the heat later.
- Stir the meat around a little so that it cooks evenly.
- After a couple of minutes, use a large slotted spoon to take the mat out and onto paper towels, then pour the oil out of the wok or skillet.
- Put the pan back over the heat, dump the meat back into it and simmer for one minute.
- Add the sauce, cook for one minute while stirring, then add all the green onions.
- Cook for one more minute, then remove the beef and onions with tongs or a slotted spoon to a serving plate.
- Leave the excess sauce behind in the pan.
We served this yummy dish on top of some steamed rice with a side of green beans in bean curd.
How are y’all doing during this weird and crazy time? I’ve been pretty lazy except for spending time with the family watching television, playing games. I did stain some wood for the barn doors for my master bathroom that I can’t wait to show you!
Come back soon and stay safe and healthy!!
Love y’all,
Linda
