[Homemade] Mongolian Beef
loading...
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak, sliced thin (about ¼" wide) lengthwise (against the grain)
- ¼ cup cooking oil (I used vegetable, but canola also works)
- ¼ cup corn starch
- 3 cloves garlic, diced
- about 1" fresh ginger, diced
- ⅓ cup light soy sauce
- ⅓ cup water
- ½ cup lightly packed brown sugar
- about 4 stalks of green onion (only green bits), cut into roughly 2" pieces
Steps
- Cut the steak, and toss into a ziploc bag with the corn starch and mix until all steak is coated.
- Add the oil to the pan, and heat to medium-high heat. Then, batches at a time, cook the steak for just 1 to 2 mins on each side to get a good sear. Try not to overcrowd your pan, and make sure you dust off any excess cornstarch off of the steak before adding to the pan.
- Once meat is cooked, sautée the garlic and ginger for about 15 to 20 seconds. Then add the soy sauce, water, and brown sugar and stir to combine. Let the sauce come to a boil and simmer for about a minute before adding back the meat.
- Let the mixture cook for about 1 to 2 minutes. If you notice the sauce isn't thick enough, you can add a mixture of 1 tbsp corn starch + 1 tbsp water (stir these together) and pour over the pan. I had to do this for this meal.
- Add the green onions, stir them into the pan, and then turn off the heat. Serve immediately, preferably with some steamed rice!
