A flavorful and savory Mongolian Beef Stir Fry recipe that's quick and easy to make at home. Tender slices of beef are cooked with a rich and slightly sweet sauce, creating a satisfying dinner that's perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients: 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon ginger, minced. 1/2 cup soy sauce. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1/2 cup water. 1/2 cup green onions, sliced. 1/4 cup hoisin sauce. 1 tablespoon cornstarch. 1 teaspoon sesame oil. 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional. Cooked rice for serving.
Instructions: Mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes if using in a small bowl. Put aside. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Stir-fry the flank steak slices for two to three minutes, or until they are browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. After taking the steak out of the skillet, set it aside. Add the ginger and garlic, minced, to the same skillet. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. After adding the sauce mixture to the skillet, simmer it. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes. Place the cooked steak back into the skillet and swirl to distribute the sauce. For a thorough heating, cook for a further one to two minutes. Add the sesame oil and sliced green onions and stir. Simmer for an additional minute. Serve the Stir-fried Mongolian Beef. Over cooked rice, fry. Savor your mouthwatering dinner of homemade Mongolian beef!
