Here is a straightforward recipe to make Mongolian beef with shaved steak that is nutritious:
Ingredients
- Shaved Beef: Thinly sliced steak makes it tender and easy! Substitute with flank or skirt steak if needed.
- Soy Sauce: Use gluten-free soy sauce if required for a flavorful kick.
- Dark Brown Sugar: Dark sugar enhances flavour; light brown sugar or molasses can also work.
- Cornstarch: Use non-GMO or tapioca flour for sauce thickening if you are allergic to corn.
- Garlic: Try pre-minced garlic for convenience.
- Green Onions: Also known as scallions, they add flavour and colour.
- Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger aroma is unbeatable; add extra for spice.
- Red Pepper Flakes: Optional
- Sesame Seeds: Optional, but add nuttiness and beauty to the dish.
Instructions
- Coat shaved steak in cornstarch, then sauté in a pan with garlic and ginger-infused oil.
- Create the Mongolian sauce by mixing soy sauce and dark brown sugar until sugar dissolves.
- Cook shaved beef in batches for about 2 minutes each, then set aside.
- Combine beef with Mongolian sauce and green onions in the pan.
- Serve with rice and broccoli, garnishing with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds. Enjoy your Mongolian Beef!
