👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions (Detailed):


1. Prepare the beef:  

   Slice the beef thinly against the grain. This makes it tender and easy to cook. Coat the beef strips lightly with cornstarch. Set aside for 10 minutes — this helps give a crispy outer layer when fried.


2. Make the sauce:  

   In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Keep aside.


3. Heat the pan:  

   In a wok or large skillet, heat 2–3 tablespoons of oil on medium-high heat.


4. Fry the beef:  

   Add beef in small batches and fry until browned and slightly crispy (about 2 minutes per side). Don’t overcrowd the pan. Remove the beef and set aside.


5. Sauté garlic and ginger:

 In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add a small splash of oil if needed. Add minced garlic and   grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.


6. Add the sauce:  

   Pour in the soy sauce mixture. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until it thickens slightly.


7. Combine beef with sauce:  

   Return the fried beef to the pan. Stir well to coat all pieces evenly with the sauce.


8. Add spring onions:  

   Toss in the spring onions and cook for 1–2 minutes more. They should stay slightly crunchy.


9. Serve hot:  

   Transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle sesame seeds if desired. Serve with steamed rice or noodles.

  •  Add chili flakes for a spicy version.  
  •  Use low-sodium soy sauce if you want it less salty.
