How to Make Delicious Mongolian Beef (6 Steps)

While some Chinese restaurant dishes are notoriously difficult to replicate at home, Mongolian beef is not one of them. The meat dish requires only a tangy brown sauce made from Asian staples, which flavors sliced steak and a few vegetables. Better yet, you have the option to saute the meat in a skillet over medium heat -- rather than the intimidatingly high flames you see in your favorite Chinese take-out kitchens.

Things You'll Need

  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Scallions
  • Canned baby corn (optional)
  • Sliced flank or sirloin steak
  • Regular or low-sodium soy sauce
  • Sherry
  • Hoisin sauce
  • Sugar
  • Cornstarch
  • Rice vinegar
  • Chili paste
  • Peanut oil

Instructions

  1. Peel and mince a small amount of garlic and ginger. In addition, chop a few green scallions so that they are about 3 inches long. If you are using baby corn, rinse and drain the canned ears.

  2. Whisk together the flavoring sauce by combining roughly 6 parts soy sauce, 2 parts each sherry and hoisin sauce, and 1 part each sugar, cornstarch, rice vinegar and chili paste.

  3. Heat a couple of spoonfuls of peanut oil in a sturdy, non-stick skillet on medium-high heat.

  4. Add the beef, garlic and ginger in the pan and saute the pieces for about 2 minutes, or until the beef browns.

  5. Add the scallions and baby corn, if using, and saute the pan's contents for another 1 minute.

  6. Pour in the flavoring sauce and continue to stir the contents of the pan. Remove the Mongolian beef from the heat when the sauce has thickened and adhered to the ingredients.
