Mongolian Beef on White Rice with Green Onions & Toasted Sesame Seeds |
For the Mongolian Beef:
2t Vegetable Oil (I used 1t Vegetable Oil)
½t Fresh Ginger, Minced
1T Garlic, Chopped
½C Soy Sauce (I used ½C Low Sodium Soy Sauce)
½C Water
¾C Brown Sugar (I used ¾C Splenda Brown Sugar)
1C Vegetable Oil, For Frying (I used ¼C Vegetable Oil)
1lb Flank Steak
¼C Cornstarch
1 Medium Onion, Thinly Sliced
2 Green Onions, Sliced
Salt & Pepper, To Taste
1. Make the sauce by heating 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over med/low heat. Add ginger and garlic to the pan and quickly add the soy sauce and water before the garlic scorches. Dissolve the brown sugar in the sauce, and then raise the heat to about medium and boil the sauce for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove it from the heat.
2. Slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4" thick bite-size slices. Tilt the blade of your knife at about a 45-degree angle to the top of the steak so that you get wider cuts. Dip the steak pieces into the cornstarch to apply a very thin dusting to both sides of each piece of beef. Let the beef sit for about 10 minutes so that the cornstarch sticks.
3. Heat up one cup of oil in a wok or large skillet until it's nice and hot, but not smoking. Add the beef to the oil and sauté for two minutes, or until the beef just begins to darken on the edges. You don't need a thorough cooking here since the beef is going to go back on the heat later. Stir the meat around a little so that it cooks evenly. After a couple minutes, use a large slotted spoon to take the meat out and onto paper towels, and then pour the oil out of the wok or skillet.
4. Put the pan back over the heat; dump the meat back into it. Add the onion and sauté for one minute. Add the sauce; cook for one minute while stirring, and then remove the beef and onions with tongs or a slotted spoon to a serving plate, leaving the excess sauce behind in the pan.
5. Serve on top of white rice and garnish with the sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Never EVER Forget Sriracha |
