Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the sliced flank steak (make sure to remove extra fat) and cornstarch. Stir until the beef is coated.
In a medium size pot or pan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Cook over medium heat until it has thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk occasionally.
Place about 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the beef and fry until the edges are browned and the meat is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Then place beef on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any fat.
Once sauce has thickened, add the beef and stir together until coated. Then serve over rice. Top with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
