Sauce
4 teaspoons oil
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
1 ⅔ cup brown sugar substitute- I used Lakanto (to order: https://bit.ly/3cRLTbg

3 tablespoons cold water
1 ½ tablespoons corn starch
sesame seeds, rice for serving (optional)
Combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until combined. Pour into a zip-lock back with beef strips, seal and chill 1 hour or overnight. Drain marinade from zip-lock and set beef aside.
In a medium sauce pan combine sauce ingredients. Stir and heat over medium high heat until brown sugar has dissolved.
While sauce is cooking, whisk together corn starch and water in a small bowl until corn starch is dissolved.
Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and stir in corn starch-water mixture. Allow sauce to thicken slightly, then remove from heat.
In a large pan or skillet, cook beef strips over medium high heat until cooked through (5-8 mins) turning strips over throughout to ensure even cooking, reduce heat to medium.
Add 1/2-1 cup of sauce (depending on how "saucy" you want your beef). Stir and cook 1-2 minutes longer.
Serve over rice with green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!
