DIRECTIONS

Cut beef into thin slices (I do this when slightly frozen for more ease).
Mix soy sauce, chili sauce, sherry, cornstarch, ginger, and pepper flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat 1 T. oil in a wok. Add garlic and onions, stir fry 1 minute.
Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add remaining oil to wok.
Add meat a 1/3 at a time, stir frying until it loses it's red color.
Place in bowl with onions.
Add chili mixture to wok, heat until bubbly hot. Stir in meat and onion mixtures, stirring until sauce coats meat and onions and is warmed through.
Serve over rice.
