Healthier Mongolian Beef Recipe
  1. Toss shaved steak in a mixing bowl coating evenly with corn starch, set aside.

  2. In a small saucepan heat a few teaspoons of oil, adding garlic and ginger sauting for 30 seconds. Add soy sauce, brown sugar and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and sauce is reduced slightly. About 4 minutes, set aside.

  3. In a large skillet (love my ), over medium-high heat, adding a little more oil if needed, saute the shaved steak in batches, not crowding the pan. The shaved steak will cook quickly, flip the pieces as they brown, should only take about 2 minutes. Remove the finished steak to a plate or paper towel lined tray, repeat with all of the meat, adding oil if necessary.

  4. TIP | make sure the oil returns to a nice high temperature each time before adding more beef. I like to remove mine just as it’s getting a little crispy on the edges, but still pink in the middle, it will finish cooking later.

  5. If any extra oil in pan, pour off or use paper towels to remove. Return skillet to medium-high heat, return all of the beef to the pan, pour the Mongolian sauce over and toss to coat. Add green onions, stirring constantly about 3 minutes until meat is reheated and sauce is thickened and glazes the meat. Serve over rice, with some steamed broccoli, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds if desired.
