Mongolian Beef

Ingredients

1 pound flank steak ¼ cup cornstarch ¼ cup oil 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced 1 tablespoon garlic, minced

¾ cup water ½ cup soy sauce ½ cup brown sugar 2 medium onions sliced 6 stalks scallions, only the green part cut into 2 inch pieces

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon chili flakes or to taste

Instructions Cut the beef into 1 inch cubes or ¼ inch strips. Add the beef into a bowl and coat every piece with the cornstarch. In a larger frying pan add the oil, when the oil is hot sear the beef top and bottom for about 1 minute each side. Take care not to overcook the meat or it will become tough and chewy. When you are done place the meat aside.

In the same pan add garlic and ginger and saute for 10-15 seconds. Next add the sliced onion and the whiter half of the green onions, cook them until soft.

In a separate bowl mix soy sauce, brown sugar, chili flakes, black pepper and water. When the onions are done add the sauce mixture to the pan and bring it to a boil. Scrape the bottom of the pan to get the crust from the beef into the sauce. Then add the beef and the rest of the green onions to the pan, cook it for a minute and turn it off.

Notes: Be careful to not over cook the beef.

We recommend using a stainless steel pan to get some extra flavor from the caramelized parts.
