Ginger Beef

1 pound skirt steak (sliced thinly)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons fresh ginger (grated)
2 cups carrots (julienned)
1/2 cup white onion (finely chopped)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil (plus more for frying)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon dried chili flakes
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Toss the skirt steak with the corn starch in a large bowl and set aside.

Over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and onions to a sauce pan. Sauté for two minutes until onions are translucent.

Add the carrots to the onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender.
Next, add the garlic, ginger, and chili flakes. Stir into the carrots and onions. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Lastly, add the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, brown sugar, and sesame seeds. Whisk together.

Lower the heat to a simmer and allow the sauce to slightly thicken.

In the meantime, bring about 2-3 cups of vegetable oil to optimum frying temperature in a deep skillet. Shake the excess corn starch off the beef and fry each piece in batches until crispy. This process takes about 3-4 minutes. Drain the fried beef on paper towels.

Finally, toss the fried beef with the sauce mixture.
