2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 quarter-size slices thin fresh ginger, unpeeled
3 Tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

Cut the steak into 2 inch thin strips. Then cut each strip across the grain into thin slices.

In a medium bowl, combine the steak with 1 Tablespoon of the soy sauce and the cornstarch. Stir to coat steak and set aside

Cut the carrots on the diagonal into thin slices. 

Cut the scallions into 2-inch lengths.

In a small bowl, combine the broth, remaining 1 Tablespoon soy sauce, hot pepper sauce and black pepper.

In a large skillet or wok, warm 1 Tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Add scallions, garlic, and ginger. Stir fry for few seconds.

Add the carrots and mushrooms and stir-fry until the carrots are crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove the vegetables to a plate and cover loosely keep warm.

Add the remaining 1 Tablespoon oil to the skillet and warm over medium-high heat.

Add the steak and the marinade in stir fry until steak is browned, but still slightly pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes.

Return the vegetables to skillet. Stir the broth mixture, add it to the skillet and bring the liquid to a boil.

Cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables are tender and the beef is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Stir in the cilantro, if using, and serve hot.
