Mongolian beef is a popular Chinese-American dish consisting of sliced beef, stir-fried with vegetables, and a savory brown sauce. The dish is often served over rice or noodles and is known for its bold flavors and tender beef.

To make Mongolian beef, thinly sliced beef is first marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, cornstarch, and other seasonings for at least 30 minutes. The beef is then stir-fried with garlic, ginger, and sliced onions until browned and tender. A sauce made with soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, and other seasonings is added to the pan and simmered until thickened. The dish is then garnished with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.

While the dish is Mongolian beef, it has no connection to traditional Mongolian cuisine. Instead, it is believed to have originated in Chinese-American restaurants in the United States.

Mongolian beef is a popular Chinese-American dish consisting of sliced beef, stir-fried with vegetables, and a savory brown sauce.

Ingredients

1/2 kilo flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
3 green onions, sliced

Directions

In a large bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the beef to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until browned and crispy on the outside. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens.
Add the beef back to the skillet and toss to coat it with the sauce. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the beef is heated through and the sauce is evenly distributed.
Transfer the Mongolian Beef to a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
Enjoy your delicious Mongolian Beef!

This Easy Braised Spare Ribs Recipe is a copy of one of the popular choices you have in a Chinese restaurant.

Ingredients

1 rack pork (or beef) spare ribs (about 3 lbs)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp sake (rice wine)
1 tbsp vinegar
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp instant dashi (or chicken boullion or chicken cubes)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp oil
green onion, for garnish

Directions

To start, separate each rib for easier cooking using a sharp knife.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add the ribs and cook briefly for 3 to 4 minutes to help remove excess fat and blood from the meat.
Drain the ribs in the sink.
In a wide skillet, heat 2 tbsp of oil over medium high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the ribs and garlic and cook for a few minutes on either side until nicely browned.
While the ribs are browning, prepare the sauce.
Mix the salt, pepper, dashi, brown sugar, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and vinegar with a few cups of water, enough to cover the ribs. (The water will cook down, so it doesn’t have to be exact).
Once the ribs have browned, add them to the sauce mixture.
Cover and let simmer for 1 to 2 hours until the liquid has been reduced.
Serve and enjoy!
