1 tbsp hoisin sauce

2 tbsp sesame oil

1.    First, prepare the sauce by mixing together the cornstarch, water, rice wine, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, pepper and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Set aside.

2.    Heat the oil in a wok or a large pan and sauté the garlic.

3.    Add the beef in batches and stir fry for about 2 to 3 minutes or until they are browned and done.
