Oriental Flank Steak

Ingredients

• 1-1 1/2 lb flank steak, sliced very thin against the grain
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon dry cooking sherry
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 3/4 teaspoon minced gingerroot
• 3 green onions, whites chopped (or 2 tablespoons chopped yellow onion)
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon peanut oil
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. 1

   Combine all ingredients except steak and oil. Add this to the meat. Let marinate for several hours. (all day or overnight is best).

2. 2

   Heat peanut oil to medium high temperature and carefully dump meat and marinade into the hot oil. (I've gotten burned by the hot oil a few times) Stir fry until meat is no longer pink and sauce has thickened.

3. 3

   Note: I typically have frozen French green beans around. I serve those with the steak. I either stir fry them in some peanut oil with a little salt and pepper or I have on occasion made up more marinade to flavor them also.
