DESCRIPTION

Spicy Mongolian beef is so easy to make! This recipe is similar to the famous PF Chang's. Tender pieces of beef coated in a sweet and salty sauce.

INGREDIENTS
 

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 1/2 tbsp red pepper chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak or London broil
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 green onions (cut on diagonal into 2-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (to fry steak strips)
  • 1 cup cornstarch (to coat steak strips)

INSTRUCTIONS
 

Instructions

  • Make the sauce. Heat 4 tablespoons vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
  • Add soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer until thickened some, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Slice flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch slices with the knife held at a 45 degree angle. Some of the really long pieces I cut in half to make them more bite-sized.
  • Toss flank steak with cornstarch and let sit 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 cup Vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add beef (I cooked it in 2 batches) and cook 2-3 minutes, until brown and crispy, flipping pieces over to cook both sides.
  • Remove meat with a slotted spoon and discard cooking oil. Place meat back in pan along with sauce and cook over medium heat for 1 minute, stirring to coat meat.
  • Add red pepper flakes and green onions and remove from heat.
