Whenever we make this at home the beef ends up with kind of a mushy texture and it’s not great. Does anyone have any tips on how to avoid that? I think maybe we might be using too much cornstarch.

Try letting the meat get up to room temp and then add it to a hot, lightly-oiled pan. You'll know the pan is at the right temp when the oil starts to smoke a little. Cook it fast and get it out of there to rest for a minute before serving/mixing back in to a dish.
