- Place sliced steak in a large ziplock bag. Add corn starch, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and hoisin sauce to the bag. Seal the bag and spread the marinade around until beef is fully coated. Marinate for about 10 minutes.
- To make the sauce, add 2 teaspoons of oil to a pan. Add ginger and garlic. Stir. Add soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Stir until brown sugar dissolves. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
