Shaking off the excess cornstarch, place the coated beef in the pan and cook in a single layer, for about 1 minute per side (in batches if your making a lot) we don't want to overcrowd the pan. Transfer the cooked beef into a plate. Add more oil if needed.(if there is more oil in the pan after cooking all the beef, drain it and leave the stuck of beef bits)
- In the same skillet, add soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ginger and garlic. let it boil and scraping off the bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Boil for about 1-2 minutes to reduce the sauce. Then add Siracha sauce (if desired)
