Ingredients

Directions

  1. Slice the flank steak into thin diagonal strips. For cleaner cuts, partially freeze the steak for about 30 minutes before slicing.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of salad oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the beef strips in batches, ensuring they are not crowded, and brown on both sides. Remove the browned beef and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the sliced celery and separated onion rings.
  5. Sauté the vegetables for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
  6. While vegetables cook, dissolve 1 beef bouillon cube in 3/4 cup of boiling water in a small bowl.
  7. 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.
  8. Return the browned beef strips to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the meat to ensure even coating.
  9. Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, or until the steak and vegetables are fork-tender.
  10. Serve hot over steamed rice.
