Mongolian Beef Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust according to your spice preference)
1/2 cup sliced green onions (white and green parts)

Recipe Instructions:

In a shallow bowl, coat the thinly sliced flank steak with cornstarch. Ensure each piece is well coated.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the coated flank steak to the hot oil in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned and crispy. Flip the beef slices and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, and red pepper flakes. Pour this sauce mixture into the skillet with garlic and ginger.

Stir well to combine the sauce with the garlic and ginger. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce to coat evenly.

Add sliced green onions to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional minute until the onions are slightly tender.

Remove from heat and serve the Mongolian Beef hot over steamed rice or noodles.
