Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, ground ginger and ground garlic.
Defrost and slice meat into 1" strips.
Cut against the grain of the meat.
Put in refrigerator container and place in refrigerator at least 20 minutes.
Peel ginger root, slice into thin wafers.
Dice them up with kitchen knife.
Wash scallions and slice them into small wafers.
Heat iron skillet or wok to high temperature (400 degrees) and spray with cooking spray.
When vegetables are browned, add meat, liquid and all, to skillet or wok.
Stir, focusing on browning all of the redness from the meat. The browning and cooking of the meat takes about 10 minutes; be sure not to run out of liquid.
If so, add 1 tbsp water at a time until no burning will occur.
Mix corn starch in small amount of water at very end of cooking. Pour slowly and stir quickly.
For a little extra cooking time, turn down by half and let set, but don't leave it for more than 1 minute.

     This was GREAT. I added frozen stir fry veggies to the onions and ginger stage to make the meal bigger and to get in a serving of veggies. Very tasty, and quick; I did the marinating overnight. - 3/18/08

     Since I always have gingeroot in my freezer, I only made one change, I coarsely grated my gingeroot rather than diced it &marinated the steak overnite for more tenderness/ I also added bell peppers, onion, shrooms & broccolli & served over brown rice for a com[;ete meal - DELISH - 9/27/09

     Very good! Be careful to reallllly chop up the ginger finely or "you'll get a mouthful o' sumthin' you don't want!" I added Chinese pea pods at the very end for color and another texture. A real KEEPER of a recipe. Thanks! - 6/10/08

     For MOTHERGOOSE--have you tried Braggs Liquid Amino--it tastes like soy sauce, but has alot less sodium. - 6/9/08

     I loved this dish. Really great flavor. I did not need to use the cornstarch to thicken. I like it the way it was! - 3/14/07

     I make something similar to this. I suggest adding 1 tsp or so of Sesame Oil to the marinade. It adds a nice rich flavor. (Sesame oil is a flavoring oil and is NOT used for cooking like vegetable oils.) Then sprinkle some sesame seeds on after the meat is cooked. Yum! - 1/11/10

    2 tblsps reduced sodium beef broth, 1 tblspn red wine vinegar,1 tspn balsamic vinegar, 2 tspns molasses

     I love the flavor and texture of this wonderful dish. I serve it over rice and it is very filling. Thanks for submitting this great recipe! - 6/9/08

     Add some garam marsala and replace the water with coconut milk and you'd have comething close to beef rendang, a famous Indonesian beef dish. Excellent dish! I make it instead of beef stew on occasion. Also galangal & tamarind concentrate are good! - 11/21/09
  • JIM*S_QUEENIE
     What a very good and tasty recipe!! I would add some extra veggies to the recipe to have an all inclusive dish---top it on noodles or rice!! - 7/21/09

     I use ginger a lot. Most certainly I'll make this with Pork soon. - 9/14/08
  • JALEPENOANN
     Very tasty. Would add some hot peppers next time around. I like 'em HOT. - 3/26/07
  • CJANEFITANDTRIM
     I also added a bag of frozen stir fry veggies to the ginger and scallions and served over brown rice for a complete delicious meal. I will definitely make this again. - 10/15/09

     One of my husband's favorite meals! I add about 1 tbsp. of honey to my recipe. I score the steak, marinate, then grill it over hot coals. I let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain to serve. - 9/15/09

     This dish is even more healthy wit hte addition og some broccoli, onions and mushrooms. - 9/15/08
  • CD3570604
     Looks terrific...I love ginger in anything. With flank steak, I would tend to marinate this overnight or longer to keep the meat as tender as it could be. Can't wait to try this, though. - 9/14/08
  • NULIFE2007
     loved it-I added mushrooms and broccoli to this. - 6/9/08

     This was pretty good. I marinated overnight. Next time I will use less ginger and add more veggies though. - 6/17/08
