Crispy Sticky Mongolian Beef
  1. Combine the Beef and Marinade ingredients in a bowl and marinate for 10 minutes (though you could even leave it overnight).

  2. Mix the cornstarch with a splash of the water. Then add the remaining Sauce ingredients, including remaining water.

  3. Add ¼ cup cornstarch and use your fingers to lightly coat the beef.

  4. Heat ¼ cup oil in a wok (Note 2) over medium high heat. Add ½ the beef and cook the first side for around 45 seconds or until golden and crisp. Then flip (I use an egg flip) and cook the other side for 30 - 45 seconds until golden and crisp. Remove onto a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining beef.

  5. Discard the oil, leaving behind about 1 tablespoon in the wok.

  6. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for about 15 seconds. Don't let it burn!

  7. Add the Sauce into the wok. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for about 1 ½ minutes or until it thickens into a glossy sticky sauce.

  8. Add the beef and scallions, toss to coat and cook for a further 30 seconds.

  9. Serve immediately with rice - or for a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice!
