Stir-Fried Beef With Green Onions - cooking recipe

Ingredients

oil (for frying)
6 oz. flank steak or sirloin
1 tsp. rice wine
1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. water
4 stalks green onion
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. rice wine
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/4 tsp. m.s.g.
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. water

Preparation

Remove any fat or muscle from the beef and slice against the grain.
Shred finely and mix with 1 teaspoon rice wine, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water.
Marinate for about 20 minutes.
Before stir-frying, add 1 tablespoon oil and toss lightly.
(The oil will prevent the shreds from sticking together during frying.)
Cut the green onion stalks into 1-inch sections.
If the stalks are thick, split in half lengthwise.
Heat pan and add 1/2 cup oil; heat until hot (about 275\u00b0).
Add the beef shreds and stir-fry over medium heat, using chopsticks or a spatula to separate the shreds.
When the meat changes color (about 20 seconds later), remove and drain.
Heat pan and add 3 tablespoons oil; heat until very hot.
Add the green onion sections and stir-fry for about 10 seconds until fragrant. Add the beef, 1 teaspoon rice wine, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon m.s.g., 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water and toss lightly.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sesame oil over the stir-fried mixture (added for sheen).
Toss lightly and remove to a serving platter.
