Beef and Leek in Ginger Syrup

I saw Ming Tsai do this.

Ingredients

  Ginger Syrup
  — thinly sliced, fresh ginger, peeled
  — water
  — sugar
 
  Marinade
  — soy sauce
  — sesame oil
  — minced garlic
 
  — Flank steak about 1" thick
  — olive oil
  — julienned leek

Preparation

Marinate the flank steak uncut overnight.

Prepare ginger syrup by reducing ingredients to 40%.

Cut flank steak into very thin slices.

Sauté small amounts of flank steak (one or two persons' worth) at a time in wok. Leave them between rare and medium. Remove.

Lightly sauté julienned leek.

Add in ginger syrup.

Add beef back in for less than a minute.

Plate.
