Recipe Name- Mongolian Beef
Ingredients:
For the Beef:
2 lbs flank steak, thinly sliced
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
For Garnish:
4 green onions, sliced
Sesame seeds (optional)
For the Sauce:
1/2 cup soy sauce (preferably low sodium)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions:
Instructions:
Prepare the Beef: Place the sliced flank steak in a bowl and toss it with the cornstarch, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the beef until it is crispy and brown on the outside, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. In the same skillet you fried the beef, add a little more oil, if needed, and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the sauce mixture and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Combine the Beef and Sauce: Return the fried beef to the skillet with the sauce. Stir to coat the beef evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and further coat the beef. Serve & Garnish: Serve the Mongolian Beef over steamed white rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
