Crispy Ginger Beef

This recipe works great with flank steak, but other steak can be used as well.  When you are slicing the steak to make the ginger beef strips, make sure that you slice across the grain of the steak.  You want to have small thin bit sized strips of beef.

Mix:

1. Slice the Ranch Direct Steak in thin slices. 
2. In a bowl, slightly beat the eggs, add the water and cornstarch.  Stir together until smooth.
3. Heat a frying pan with about 1 inch of oil.  When the strips of Ranch Direct Steak is placed in the pan it will deep fry it.
4. Dip the steak strips into the egg and cornstarch mixture and then fry in the pan until each side is crispy (about 1 min per side).
5. Remove from the oil and place on a rack to drain.
