Easy Mongolian Beef

Ingredients
 

  • lb 1-inch thick sirloin steak
  • cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 2 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste
  • cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup water
  • cup brown sugar
  • 2 green onions, green parts only

Instructions
 

  • Start by cutting the steak into ¼-inch thick slices.
  • Arrange them flat, cover with plastic wrap, and gently pound them with a meat mallet to make them thinner.
  • Place the slices in a ziplock bag, add cornstarch, and massage the bag to coat each piece evenly.
  • Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the steak slices in a single layer for 30 seconds per side, totaling about a minute.
  • Work in batches to prevent overcrowding.
  • Once cooked, remove the steak, place it on a plate, and season with a pinch of salt.
  • In the same pan, quickly sauté ginger, garlic, and a dash of chili oil or red pepper flakes for 10-15 seconds for a bit of heat.
  • Add soy sauce, water, and brown sugar, and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Return the steak to the pan, allowing the sauce to thicken over 20-30 seconds (the cornstarch coating will help).
  • Turn off the heat, add sliced green onions, and mix well. Serve over white rice, rice noodles, or in lettuce wraps. Enjoy!
