PF CHang's Mongolian Beef

This is a rip off recipe off one of the many sites I peruse.  I made it last night with a side of rice and it was very good.  I did alter from the recipe and added a bunch of veggies near the final step.  I used broccoli, edamame, and onions and it was a hit.

Ingredients

1 tbls. chopped garlic
1/2 tspn. ginger
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 lb flank steak cup into thin strips
1/4 cup corn starch


Make sauce by heating up some oil in a sauce pan, don't let it get too hot.  Add garlic and ginger, followed by water, soy sauce and then brown sugar.  Disolve sugar and let it boil for 2-3 minutes until it gets thick.  In the mean time sprinkle the meat with the corn starch and let it sit for a few minutes. 

Heat up a cup of oil in a wok or fry pan.  Add beef and cook for about 2 minutes.  Remove meat and discard oil.  Put pan back on heat and put meat back in (this is where I added the veggies) now add the sauce and cook for a few minutes.  That's it.
