9. Dip the steak pieces into the cornstarch.

10. Apply a very thin dusting to both sides of each piece of beef.

11. Let the beef sit for about 10 minutes so that the cornstarch sticks.

12. As the beef sits, heat up the vegetable oil in a wok. a skillet may also be used for this step, making sure the beef will be mostly covered with oil.

13. Heat the oil over medium heat until it's hot, but not smoking.

14. Add the beef to the oil.

15. Sauté for just two minutes or until the beef just begins to darken on the edges. the beef will not need a thorough cooking here since it is going back on the heat later.
