Mongolian Beef Recipe

ingredients

For the Sauce:

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon grated ginger 

1 tablespoon minced garlic

3/4 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup water

Directions:

Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add ginger and garlic to the pan. Quickly add the soy sauce and water before the garlic scorches. Dissolve the brown sugar in the sauce, then bring the heat up to medium heat and allow the sauce to boil for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

For the Meat:

1 pound flank steak (to make slicing easier, put the beef in the freezer for 20 minutes to freeze slightly)

4-5 large green onions, sliced

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/4 cup cornstarch

Slice the slightly frozen flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss the steak strips with the cornstarch and let sit for 10 minutes. In a large skillet, heat the oil and add the meat and cook till browned. Add in the sliced green onions. After 1-2 minutes, add back in the sauce and cook over medium until the sauce reduces to about half and thickens. Serve over rice.
