Directions
-
Slice the flank steak into thin diagonal strips. For cleaner cuts, partially freeze the steak for about 30 minutes before slicing.
-
In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of salad oil over medium-high heat.
-
Add the beef strips in batches, ensuring they are not crowded, and brown on both sides. Remove the browned beef and set aside.
-
Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the sliced celery and separated onion rings.
-
Sauté the vegetables for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
-
While vegetables cook, dissolve 1 beef bouillon cube in 3/4 cup of boiling water in a small bowl.
-
Add the dissolved bouillon water, 1 cup of sliced water chestnuts, 5 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
-
Return the browned beef strips to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the meat to ensure even coating.
-
Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, or until the steak and vegetables are fork-tender.
-
Serve hot over steamed rice.
