Mongolian Beef (Sam the Cooking Guy)

 Ingredients:


1 lb flank or skirt steak, cut against the grain, bite sized pieces

1/3 cup corn starch

1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil, divided

1/2 cup water

Directions:

  • Put the beef in a large bowl and add the cornstarch, 3 tablespoons of soy and 1/2 of the sesame oil - mix really well to combine, then set aside
  • In another bowl put the water, remaining soy and brown sugar - stir well to mostly dissolve the sugar
  • Heat a wok or skillet on medium/high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil then add 1/2 the beef
  • Cook, letting it brown on both sides until almost cooked through - remove to a plate and repeat with remaining beef adding more oil if necessary
  • Return the pan to the heat with a little more oil and put in the onion and peppers - stir fry a couple minutes then add the garlic & ginger - stir again about 30 seconds or until very fragrant
  • Add the soy/water/brown sugar to the wok - mix and bring to a quick, then turn down slightly add put the beef back in
  • Let simmer a couple minutes, stirring well to thicken, add the green onions, mix well and serve
