Slice the beef thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces. Remove any tough tendons or membranes. Toss with cornstarch, soy sauce, and rice wine. Let sit for 10 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add ginger and garlic, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant. The aromatics should sizzle immediately.
Add the marinated beef in a single layer. Let sear for 1 minute without stirring, then toss and cook another 2 minutes until browned but still tender. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
Sprinkle in cumin, Sichuan pepper, and salt. Toss everything together for 1 minute so the spices coat the beef evenly. Add green onions, give one final toss, and serve immediately over steamed rice.
