mentions: Flank steak, sirloin, rump steak, or thin stir-fry beef all work if sliced across the grain.
mentions: Green onions are essential here, so buy an extra bunch if yours are small.
mentions: Use brown sugar for deeper color, but white sugar or honey also works.
mentions: Use chicken or tofu instead of beef for a different bowl.

mentions: Beef: Flank steak, Sirloin, Pre-sliced stir-fry beef. Thin slicing across the grain matters more than the exact cut.
mentions: Brown sugar: White sugar, Honey, Maple syrup. If using honey or maple syrup, simmer briefly before adding beef back so the sauce thickens.
mentions: Green onion: Scallions, Spring onions, Thin leek greens. Use a generous amount; this dish depends on green onion more than most stir-fries.
