Easy Mongolian Beef

Step 1

Slice the steak into thin strips and coat them with cornstarch.

Step 2

In a large wok or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated steak and fry until it's browned and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the minced garlic and ginger. Cook these for a minute or two until they're fragrant.

Step 5

Add the soy sauce, water, and brown sugar to the pan. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Once the sauce has thickened, add the fried steak back into the pan. Toss everything together so that the steak is well-coated in the sauce.

Step 7

Drizzle in the sesame oil and add the green onions and toss the steak again.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy with a side of steamed rice.
