Ingredients For Mongolian Beef and Spring Onions Recipes
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
⅔ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup water
1 pound beef flank steak, sliced 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal
¼ cup cornstarch
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
2 bunches green onions, cut in 2-inch lengths
Instructions: Mongolian Beef and Spring Onions Recipes
Step 1: Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in brown sugar, soy sauce, and water. Increase heat to medium-high; stir until sauce boils and slightly thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove sauce from the heat and set aside.
Step 2: Place beef into a large bowl; add cornstarch and mix until beef is thoroughly coated. Set aside until most of the cornstarch has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.
Step 3: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 4: Shake excess cornstarch from beef slices and drop into hot oil, a few at a time, stirring briefly and frying until edges become crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove beef with a large slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.
Step 5: Remove excess oil from the skillet, then heat the skillet over medium heat; add beef slices and stir in prepared sauce. Add green onions and bring to a boil; cook until the onions have just softened and are bright green, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Feedback of Mongolian Beef and Spring Onions Recipes
Amazing! I made it exactly as the recipe states and it was wonderful!
Turned out pretty good after I adjusted the sugar and soy sauce as suggested by other reviewers. Used 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1/4 cup water. It was too much sauce, so I ended up using only half. I think it would’ve been way too salty otherwise. I also added red peppers and used olive oil instead of vegetable oil.
Tastes amazing, first meal I’ve ever made and it was simple and delicious
A very easy and tasty meal. As another review stated I also used powdered ginger and a sweet white onion cut into chunks. Very delicious. My grocery store sells stir fry beef and made the recipe even easier.
Great stuff. It's a go to for us when we can find sandwich steak on sale or clearance. It's a great go to when your able to find rice, plus, not have to pay for the nose for it all. great stuff.
Wonderful basic recipe to make. I had to add a few substitutes, as I didn't want to go to the store for a couple things. I use powder ginger instead of fresh, did not have any green onions in the bin so used a half large sweet yellow onion. I also added a few more shredded veggies, carrots, celery and home grown green beans. Everything was great as far as the amounts of ingredients. I will make it again when I have the green onions and fresh ginger. Oh, I forgot that I tossed in 5 dried home grown peppers, for heat. Husband loved it.
Just too sweet. I prefer my favorite take-out restaurant version. This couldn't hold a mirror to it.
I added a lil more brown sugar but that’s personal preference
Delicious!
