First combine the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl and marinate the beef for 30 minutes. Then lightly coat each piece in cornstarch with your hands on a separate plate.
Heat the oil in a wok or a small saucepan on high heat. Once the oil is hot and about to smoke, reduce the heat to medium high, add the beef in batches and fry on one side for 3 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan. Then flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds or until golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining beef.
