Makes 4 servings

If you love ginger you will love this recipe. If not, simply do not eat the ginger slices and just enjoy the hint of flavor they have left behind.

ingredients

1
Slice flank steak into 1" strips (cut against the grain of the meat). Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, ground ginger and garlic powder. Place meat in mixture and marinade in the refrigerator at least 20 minutes or overnight.
2
Heat iron skillet or wok to high temperature (400 degrees) and spray with cooking spray. Peel ginger root. Slice ginger root and scallions into thin wafers. Place stir fry vegetables, ginger root, and scallions in skillet and add meat, including liquid, once scallions and ginger root are browned.
3
Stir, focusing on browning all of the redness from the meat. The browning and cooking of the meat takes about 10 minutes; be sure not to run out of liquid. If so, add 1 tbsp water at a time until no burning will occur.
4
Mix corn starch into the liquid at the very end of cooking. Pour slowly and stir quickly. For a little extra cooking time, turn down by half and let set, but don’t leave it for more than 1 minute.
