    4 tbsp. cornstarch, divided
    1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 tablespoon dry sherry (optional)
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    12 oz. boneless beef round steak, cut into thin strips
    2 cups cold water
    2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

    Recipe



    In a small bowl, blend 1 tablespoon each of the cornstarch and soy sauce, sherry, garlic, ginger and pepper. Add beef; marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. In a small bowl, blend remaining 3 tablespoons cornstarch into water. Stir in remaining 1/3 cup soy sauce.
