The Best Mongolian Beef

The best Mongolian beef is a matter of personal preference, but there are some key ingredients that are essential to most recipes. These include:

• Thinly sliced beef, such as flank steak or sirloin tip
• Cornstarch, to help the beef brown and crisp
• A flavorful sauce, made with soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic
• Green onions, for garnish

Here is a recipe for Mongolian beef that is both delicious and easy to make:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the beef, cornstarch, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. Mix well to coat the beef.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring constantly, until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
3. Add the water to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
4. Stir in the green onions and serve immediately over rice.

Here are some tips for making the best Mongolian beef:

• Use a good quality beef. Flank steak or sirloin tip are both good choices.
• Slice the beef thinly against the grain. This will help the beef cook more evenly and tenderly.
• Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the beef absorb the flavors of the marinade.
• Don't overcook the beef. The beef should be cooked until browned and cooked through, but it should still be tender.
• Serve the Mongolian beef immediately over rice. This will help the beef stay moist and flavorful.

Enjoy!
