Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
- 0.5 cup Dark brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 4 stalks Green onions, sliced into 2-inch pieces
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. Pat the steak strips dry with a paper towel and lightly season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Place the cornstarch in a shallow dish. Dredge each steak strip in the cornstarch, shaking off any excess. Set aside and let the steak sit for 10 minutes, allowing the cornstarch to adhere.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the gluten-free soy sauce (tamari), dark brown sugar, water, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove the sauce from heat and set aside.
Step 4
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Fry the dredged beef strips in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan. Cook each batch for about 2 minutes per side or until the beef is crispy and browned. Transfer the cooked beef to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 5
Once all the beef is cooked, carefully remove the excess oil from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Return the skillet to medium heat and pour in the prepared sauce.
Step 6
Add the crispy beef strips to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the beef to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Step 7
Stir in the sliced green onions and cook for an additional 1 minute. Serve immediately over steamed rice or alongside your favorite gluten-free sides.
