Mongolian Beef

My version of Mongolian beef celebrates gloriously tender strips of steak in a glossy, umami-packed sauce. Flank steak keeps the cost down, although you could use another cut of your choosing if you prefer. And don’t be afraid to keep your pan super-hot for that all-important sear!

SERVES

Ingredients

400g (14 oz) flank steak

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 red onion, cut into wedges

4cm piece ginger, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

2 dried red chillies, roughly chopped

1 tbsp corn flour (cornstarch) mixed with 1 tbsp water

4 spring onions (scallions), cut into batons

 

Marinade:

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp Chinese Shaoxing wine

½ tsp baking soda

3 tsp corn flour (cornstarch)

 

Stir-fry sauce sauce:

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup chicken stock

3 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp Chinese Shaoxing wine

Steps
  • Step 1

    Cutting against the grain, slice the flank steak into thin strips.

  • Step 2

    Combine the steak with the marinade ingredients. Mix well.

  • Step 3

    Combine the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce.

  • Step 4

    Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the beef and cook, stir-frying, for about 2 minutes or until just cooked. Transfer the beef to a large tray or plate.

  • Step 5

    Return the same pan to the heat (no need to clean it). Add in the onion (add a little more oil if there isn’t any left in the pan), ginger, garlic and chillies. Stir-fry for about a minute. Then add the stir-fry sauce. Allow to simmer for half a minute. Then add the corn flour mixture and simmer until thickened. Add the beef back into the sauce along with the spring onion and toss until well combined.

  • Step 6

    Serve warm.

A regular on our dinner rotation

I’ve been making this already a few times and now I’ve tweaked the recipe a bit, because our 1.5 year old is joining the dinner table.

I served it with soba noodles, adding some broccoli, bok choy and carrots.

I used less wine because of the baby.

Still a great success, the plates were licked clean!
