by John Abraham

Ingredients:

1 lb. flank steak
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup costarch
1/2 cup water
vegetable oil
2/3 cup grated carrots
2 Tbsp. chopped green onion (or more to taste)
4 Tbsp.(1/4 cup) minced ginger root (or more)
4 cloves garlic minced
90 ml soy sauce
60 ml cooking wine – Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
60 ml white vinegar
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp hot chili oil or crushed red chili flakes

Instructions:

Slice steak while partially frozen into narrow strips.

Mix beef and eggs.

Dissolve costarch in water and mix with beef, add crushed chili flakes (if using).

Pour ample (about 3/4 cup) oil in wok.

Heat to boiling hot, but not smoking.

Add beef to oil, 1/4 at a time. Separate with a fork (or chopsticks if you’re talented) and cook, stirring frequently until crispy.

Remove, drain and set aside (This much can be done in advance).

Put 1 Tbsp. oil in wok.

Add carrots, onion, ginger and garlic and stir fry over high heat.

Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.

Add beef, mix well and serve.

If your steak is over one pound, cook it all anyway.

Serve with steamed rice.
