EASY MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a small pan over medium low heat. Add ginger and garlic and stir just until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add soy sauce, water and brown sugar and bring to a boil. Let boil 3-5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Set aside.
• Slice the flank steak into ¼" slices and toss with cornstarch. Gently shake off any excess.
• Place 1 tablespoon at a time of oil in a pan or wok and heat over medium high heat. Cook the beef in small batches for about 2 minutes. (It doesn't need to cook all of the way through, it will cook completely when combined with the sauce).
• Once all the beef has been cooked, combine with the sauce and heat over medium until hot and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in green onions. Serve over rice.

• 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!

SUPER EASY MONGOLIAN BEEF (TASTES JUST LIKE P.F. CHANGS!)

Steps:

• In a large ziplock bag add the sliced flank steak and cornstarch. Toss the beef to coat evenly. Heat a large skillet to high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once heated, add the steak in a single layer and cook on each side for about a minute until the edges just start to brown. Once the steak is cooked, remove and set aside on a plate.
• In a small mixing bowl combine soy sauce, brown sugar, water, ginger, and garlic. Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a boil. Add the steak to the sauce and allow the sauce to thicken for a couple of minutes. Toss with the chopped green onions and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Spread the flank steak out flat, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer until partially frozen, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Remove beef from the freezer and slice across the grain into very thin slices.
• Whisk the chicken stock and cornstarch in a freezer-safe bowl until smooth; whisk in the hot chili oil, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sherry, sugar, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Place the beef into the sauce, stir to coat well. Cover and freeze until frozen, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the freezer and allow to defrost, about 30 minutes.
• Heat a wok over high heat until very hot, and pour in the peanut oil. Immediately add garlic, cook and stir in the hot oil until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Mix in the Swiss chard and green onions; cook and stir the vegetables until they turn bright green, about 3 minutes, and then remove from the wok.
• Pour the defrosted beef mixture into the hot wok; cook and stir until the meat browns and the sauce forms a glaze, 3 to 5 minutes. Return the cooked vegetables to the wok, sprinkle with salt and pepper, mix to combine well; serve hot.

MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Combine the sliced beef with 1 teaspoon oil, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Marinate for 1 hour. The beef should still be quite moist after it has marinated. If it looks too dry, add a tablespoon of water to it.
• Next, dredge the marinated beef slices in the remaining 1/4 cup of cornstarch until lightly coated.
• In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and hot water (or low sodium chicken or beef stock) until the sugar is dissolved. Mix in 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce. If you don't have low sodium soy sauce, substitute 2 1/2 tablespoons regular soy sauce and 1 1/2 tablespoons water. The saltiness of various soy sauce brands varies, so give the sauce a taste, and adjust the amounts of sugar/soy sauce/water/stock to your own taste.
• Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil in the wok over high heat. Just before the oil starts to smoke, spread the flank steak pieces evenly in the wok, and sear for 1 minute (depending upon the heat of your wok). Turn over and let the other side sear for another 30 seconds. Remove to a sheet pan. Tilt it slightly to let the oil drain to one side (lean it on a cookbook or cutting board). The beef should be seared with a crusty coating.
• Drain the oil from the wok, leaving 1 tablespoon behind, and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the ginger and dried chili peppers, if using. After about 15 seconds, add the garlic. Stir for another 10 seconds and add the premixed sauce.
• Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes and slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry mixture. Cook until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Add the beef and scallions and toss everything together for another 30 seconds. There should be almost no liquid, as the sauce should be clinging to the beef. If you still have sauce, increase the heat slightly and stir until thickened. Plate and serve with steamed rice!

MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• For the beef: Slice the flank steak across the grain into 3/4-inch (19 millimeters)-thick slices on an angle to make planks then cut the planks into 3/4-inch (19 millimeters) cubes. Combine the cornstarch, baking soda and salt with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and set aside. Place the steak in a shallow bowl and add the water, vegetable, and cornstarch mixture. Massage all the ingredients into the meat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 12 hours.
• For the sauce: Combine the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, vinegar, garlic and half the ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the stir-fry: Heat the oil to medium-high in a wok or medium saute pan. Stir in the beef and cook to medium-rare, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Drain off excess oil. Add the garlic and remaining ginger and saute 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in the bell peppers and onions and let them cook until the edges of the onion and bell peppers begin to brown, about 2 minutes.

MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Slice the flank steak against the grain (the grain is the length of the steak) the long way in 1/4 inch thick pieces and add it to a ziploc bag with the cornstarch.
• Press the steak around in the bag making sure each piece is fully coated with cornstarch and leave it to sit.
• Add the canola oil to a large frying pan and heat on medium high heat.
• Add the steak, shaking off any excess corn starch, to the pan in a single layer and cook on each side for 1 minute.
• If you need to cook the steak in batches because your pan isn't big enough do that rather than crowding the pan, you want to get a good sear on the steak, and if you crowd the pan, your steak with steam instead of sear.
• When the steak is done cooking remove it from the pan.
• Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and sauté for 10-15 seconds.
• Add the soy sauce, water and dark brown sugar to the pan and let it come to a boil.
• Add the steak back in and let the sauce thicken for 20-30 seconds.
• The cornstarch we used on the steak should thicken the sauce, if you find it isn't thickening enough add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir to dissolve the cornstarch and add it to the pan.
• Add the green onions, stir to combine everything, and cook for a final 20-30 seconds.
• Serve immediately.

EASY MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan until very hot.
• Mix the cornflour with a good pinch of salt and pepper and toss the steak strips in the cornflour.
• Cook the steak strips in the oil (turning occasionally) until very dark and crispy. You can do this in two batches, but I usually manage this in one. You just need to make sure the oil is really hot, and then leave the steak cooking in the oil for a good 5 minutes before turning. Don't keep moving it around the pan, or you won't achieve that dark, crunchy coating.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef from the pan. Place it on a plate with some kitchen roll on to drain off excess fat.
• Pour out all but 1 tbsp of oil from the pan, turn the heat down to medium and allow the oil to cool a little. Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute - stirring often to avoid burning the garlic.
• Add in the soy sauce, pepper, sugar and water into the wok.
• Give it a good mix and turn up the heat and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
• Then add the crispy beef back to the wok and cook for a further 2 minutes.
• Then turn off the heat and stir in the spring onions (scallions).
• Serve over boiled rice.

Steps:

• Start off by making the sauce: Mince 1 garlic close and 1 tbsp ginger and cook it in a saucepan filled with 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Cook it over medium-high heat for 1 minute.
• Add the 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 cup low sodium soy sauce, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
• Thinly slice the 2 lb. beef into small pieces. Pro tip: place the beef in the freezer 15-20 minutes prior to slicing to make thinner cuts without the meat sliding around.
• Place the sliced beef in a large bowl and mix it with 1/3 cup cornstarch.
• Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil in a 14-inch wok and cook the beef in 2 batches to avoid overcrowding and mushy texture. Once cooked, remove the beef and set it aside.
• In the same wok, cook 1 clove minced garlic over medium heat for 1 minute. Then add 1 cup sliced yellow onion and cook until translucent.
• Add the beef back into the wok and pour in the sauce. Bring to a simmer for another 5 minutes.
• Add 2 bunches of sliced green onion to the beef and stir for about 2-3 minutes. Serve warm over hot rice.
