One night we were watching something on Food Network, no idea what now, but they were making crispy beef and it sounded really good. A bit of searching and I came upon this; I'm not sure where it came from now but this is an easy, really good recipe.
Crispy Sesame Beef

1 c peanut or vegetable oil
1 lb sirloin steak, sliced thin
4 Tbsp cornstarch, divided

1/4 c reduced sodium soy sauce

2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger
1 Tbsp Sriracha, optional
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 green onion, thinly sliced

In a large bowl, comvine steak and 2 tablespoons cornstarch, tossing to coat and letting the steak absorb the cornstarch. Add remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch before cooking.
Working in batches cook steak in oil until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
In a medium saucepan over medium high heat combine soy sauce, borwn sugar, orange juice, vinegar, garlic, ginger, Sriracha, and sesame oil until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in steak and gently toss to combine.
