Prep the sauce. Combine the water and cornstarch in a small bowl and set aside. Combine all other sauce ingredients in a separate mixing bowl and set aside.
4 Tablespoons cold water, 2 Tablespoons corn starch, 1/2 cup mirin, 1/2 cup beef stock, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar, teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cook beef. Heat a wok or large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add in avocado oil. When the oil starts to shimmer, add in seasoned steak. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned on the outside. Remove to a plate.

Add the sauce. Pour the sauce mixture into the wok, scraping the bottom and sides to remove all of the flavorful browned on bits into the sauce. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until reduced almost by half. Pour cornstarch slurry into the sauce and stir rapidly while it is distributed. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook until it thickens.
Combine, serve, and enjoy. Turn off the heat and add your steak and vegetables to the wok. Stir to coat the steak and vegetables in the sauce. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and serve with cooked rice or noodles.
