Mongolian Beef Easy Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds beef (loin, sirloin, tenderloin) (- cut into thin strips)
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons oil
• 1 clove garlic (- finely minced)
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 big carrots (- julienned)
• 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
• green onion and sesame seeds (- for garnishing)

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ground pepper, and garlic in a bowl. Stir until sugar is dissolved.

2. 2

   In a big bowl, toss together beef strips and cornstarch until all sides of the meat are fully covered.

3. 3

   In a wok or saute pan, heat oil over high. Add in beef slices and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook so the beef remains tender. If the pan is too small, do this in two batches. Remove the beef from oil and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same pan with oil, pour the liquid mixture and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce is reduced and becomes thicker.

5. 5

   Add the pre-cooked beef and carrots and cook for another minute or two just to let the flavor seep in.

6. 6

   Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onion and serve with rice.
