Crispy Sticky Mongolian Beef Recipes

CRISPY STICKY MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Combine the Beef and Marinade ingredients in a bowl and marinate for 10 minutes (though you could even leave it overnight).
• Mix the cornstarch with a splash of the water. Then add the remaining Sauce ingredients, including remaining water.
• Add 1/4 cup cornstarch and use your fingers to lightly coat the beef.
• Heat 1/4 cup oil in a wok (Note 2) over medium high heat. Add 1/2 the beef and cook the first side for around 45 seconds or until golden and crisp. Then flip (I use an egg flip) and cook the other side for 30 - 45 seconds until golden and crisp. Remove onto a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining beef.
• Discard the oil, leaving behind about 1 tablespoon in the wok.
• Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for about 15 seconds. Don't let it burn!
• Add the Sauce into the wok. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for about 1 1/2 minutes or until it thickens into a glossy sticky sauce.
• Add the beef and scallions, toss to coat and cook for a further 30 seconds.
• Serve immediately with rice - or for a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice!

CRISPY AND STICKY MONGOLIAN BEEF RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• First combine the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl and marinate the beef for 30 minutes. Then using your fingers lightly coat each piece in a plate with cornstarch. Heat the oil in a wok or small saucepan on high. Once the oil is hot and about to smoke, reduce the heat to medium high, add the beef in batches and fry on one side for 1 minute. Do not overcrowd the pan. Then flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds or until golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining beef. If not using a wok, transfer 2 tablespoons of oil used from frying the beef into the bigger saucepan. Heat the pan on medium high and add garlic with ginger. Sauté for 15 seconds, watch for it not to burn. Then add soy sauce, red chili pepper flakes, chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for couple minutes on low. Add the brown sugar, and stir until dissolved. Slowly incorporate the cornstarch mixture into the pan and stir until the sauce coats the back of the spoon. Add the beef, scallions and mix everything together for 1 minute or so. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
