Description: Celebrity recipe - Bruce Lee - Martial Artist, Actor, Writer, Producer & Director. The greatest icon of martial arts cinema, and a key figure of modern popular culture. Had it not been for the amazing Bruce Lee and his incredible movies in the early 1970s, it's arguable whether or not the martial arts film genre would have ever penetrated and influenced mainstream western cinema & audiences the way it has over the past three decades.

Preparation:
Mix the beef slices well with the cornstarch, wine, soy sauce, and sugar.
Set aside.
Heat half the oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat until hot but not smoking.
Add the onion, ginger slices, and garlic.
Stir constantly for about 1 minute; then reduce the heat and stir until the onion is partially cooked but not brown.
Remove from pan.
Heat the remaining oil over high heat and add beef slices.
Cook and stir constantly for about 2 minutes; add the onion mixture and continue stirring for about 1 minute or until most of the pink of the meat is gone.
Add the water and oyster sauce and then cook and stir until the beef is done and the mixture is thickened.
Discard the garlic and ginger slices if desired.
Serve immediately with a steamed or stir-fried green vegetable (spinach or broccoli is great) and steamed white or brown rice on the side.
When combined with other dishes, it could also form part of a Chinese meal for more guests.
To Slice Flank Steak:
Cut the steak lengthwise with the grain into long pieces about 2 inches wide.
Then slice each piece against the grain into 1/8-inch slices.
