Ingredients

• 0.75 cup cornstarch
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 large eggs
• 1 pound flank steak, cut into thin strips
• 0.5 cup canola oil, or as needed
• 1 large carrot, cut into matchstick-size pieces
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into matchstick-size pieces
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into matchstick-size pieces
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 0.25 cup minced fresh ginger root
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Whisk in eggs, then add steak strips and toss to coat thoroughly.
2. Heat canola oil in a wok over high heat. Fry beef strips in batches, ensuring they are separated. Cook until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3. Leave 1 tablespoon of oil in the wok. Stir-fry carrot, bell peppers, green onions, ginger, and garlic until lightly browned and crisp, about 3 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the wok and bring to a boil. Add the beef, stir well, and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
