Mongolian Beef is a beloved dish that offers a delightful combination of savory flavors, tender beef, and vibrant vegetables, making it a favorite among many Asian-inspired dishes. This recipe stands out because of its rich soy sauce marinade, which infuses the beef with a perfect balance of umami and sweetness.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 lb flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup green onions, sliced
1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic to create the marinade. Mix well and set aside.
Add the sliced flank steak to the bowl with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Once marinated, sprinkle cornstarch over the beef and toss to coat evenly.
Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully add the beef to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to brown.
Remove the beef from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add green onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
Return the beef to the pan and pour the remaining marinade over the top. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss to combine. Serve immediately with rice or noodles.
