So we found a recipe for Mongolian beef on Pinterest and thought we’d give it a go. Was absolutely lush and super easy to make, took less than 30mins including prep.
Would recommend giving it a go! Here’s the recipe for 2 people:
Ingredients
- 400g (ish) of beef sliced thinly (1/4 inch) (we got the stir fry strips of beef and they were a great size)
- 1/4 cup corn flour (season with salt and pepper)
- 2 large garlic cloves minced/finely chopped
- 2 cm chunk of ginger minced/ finely chopped
- 1/8 cup dark soy sauce
- 2 tbsp dark moscavado sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/8 cup water
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- Pinch chilli flakes
Method
- Start by tossing the slice beef in the season cornstarch in a mixing bowl, get good coverage over all the strips of meat
- Heat a pan on high with a light coating of oil, cook the beef in batches a to makes sure it gets nice and crispy on the outside, only cook for 45secs per side. Set the cooked beef aside on a plate
- Mix the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, sugar and honey in a bowl. Add to the pan and bring to the boil
- Then add the beef to the pan and heat for 2mins until the sauce thickens (you may need to a add a little corn flour slurry if you want it thicker).
- Finally stir in a pinch of chilli flakes and some spring onions
- Serve on top of basmati rice and topped with a few of the remaining spring onions
Hope you enjoy! Let us know if you’ve given it a go and what you thought! 🥩 🍚 🌶 🥢
