Step 1
Add beef to a medium bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss beef in cornstarch until evenly coated.
Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, add all sauce ingredient. Mix until evenly blended.
Step 3
In a large deep nonstick skillet, add oil and bring to medium high heat. When oil is hot, lay beef into skillet in a single layer, making sure none of the pieces overlap. Cook a few minutes until seared and browned. Flip beef and cook a few minutes to sear and brown. Beef should not be fully cooked, only seared on both sides. If you do not have a skillet big enough to fit all your beef in a single layer, cook in smaller batches.
Step 4
Remove beef and drain excess oil from skillet. I also like to lay the beef on some paper towels to soak up excess oil but this is optional.
Step 5
Add beef back into skillet. Bring skillet to medium high heat. Add the beef back in and pour in the sauce. Stir fry the beef in the sauce until beef is completely cooked and sauce thickens. The sauce should thicken from the cornstarch on the beef. Once sauce is thickened, turn off heat. Garnish with scallions. When beef is cooled, add to your meal prep containers along with your choice of rice and vegetables.
