Ingredients

    1 lb flank steak
    2 tbsp lite soy sauce
    2 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
    1/2 cup water
    2 tsp ginger, ground
    1 tsp garlic powder
    10 slices (1" dia) fresh ginger root
    8 large sized scallions
    2 tsp corn starch

Directions

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
