Quick & Easy Mongolian Beef – Jess Pryles

Step 1

Combine the soy sauce and corn starch in a large bowl, then add the beef strips. Toss to ensure all the strips are well coated, then return to the fridge to marinade for 15-30 minutes.

Step 2

Place a skillet over high heat, then add the oil, garlic and ginger. Fry, stirring frequently, until the aromatics begin to brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the beef strips and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add the brown sugar and beef broth, and cook a further 3-5 minutes longer while stirring. The sauce should reduce down to coat the beef strips and not be too runny. If the sauce is not reduced enough, cook 1-2 minutes longer.

Step 5

Stir in the scallions and cook for 1 further minute. Taste the sauce and add any extra salt if necessary.

Step 6

Split the rice into 4 bowls, then pile the beef on top of each one. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds then serve.
