Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 4 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with cornstarch until evenly coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Add the beef in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté the white parts of the green onions and minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, rice vinegar, and ginger. Pour this sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Return the beef to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring to coat the beef in the sauce until heated through.

  7. 7

    Serve the Mongolian beef over cooked white rice and garnish with the green parts of the green onions.
