I thought I posted this, but I can’t find it on here anywhere. Matt loves this dish, and it is quite delicious, especially with rice. I suggested it for dinner tonight and the response was, “OHHH, YEAH!”
Mongolian Beef
From Noshings
Sauce:
1/2 c. water
1/3 c. low sodium soy sauce
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 – 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 lb. flank steak or cube steak, thinly sliced crosswise
1/4 c. cornstarch
2 T canola oil
1/2 tsp. grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 large green onions, sliced
2 c. broccoli, chopped and cooked until crisp tender
Rice, for serving
Whisk together the first four ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside for sauce. Blot meat dry with a paper towel. Evenly coat meat with cornstarch. In a large skillet, saute the meat in oil over medium-high heat until cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside. (This may need to be done in batches so that meat sits in a single layer in the pan.)
In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon oil if needed, and add the garlic, green onions and ginger. Saute for 1 minute. Add the sauce to the pan and cook until the sauce begins to boil and sugar is dissolved. Add meat and broccoli and cook until sauce thickens, 3-5 minutes. Serve over rice.
Serves 3.
