Mongolian Beef Fillet Recipes

SUPER TENDER MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• MARINATE: Add the thinly sliced beef, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon water, cornstarch, baking soda, white pepper, and garlic powder to a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside for at least 15 minutes and ideally, 1-2 hours works best to tenderize the meat.
• SAUCE: Combine the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl with a whisk or in a mason jar with a lid.
• SEAR THE MEAT: Heat a wok a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 ½ tablespoon of oil and allow for the oil to be just below the smoking point. Add one-third of the meat in a single layer and allow for it to cook through for 1-2 minutes or until it crisp, flip, and continue cooking for another 1 minute. Remove the meat to a plate and repeat with the remaining meat in batches, adding oil as needed.
• PUT IT TOGETHER: Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the same skillet and sauté the onion slices and dried red chilies for 1 minute. Add the garlic and give it 30 seconds then, add the beef back into the pan and toss. Kick the heat up to the highest setting and stir everything. Drizzle the sauce over the meat and toss to combine so all the meat is evenly coated in the sauce. Allow the sauce to sizzle and thicken a tiny bit before adding the scallions and tossing until the scallion wilt just a bit. Top with sesame seeds and serve warm!

MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Combine the sliced beef with 1 teaspoon oil, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Marinate for 1 hour. The beef should still be quite moist after it has marinated. If it looks too dry, add a tablespoon of water to it.
• Next, dredge the marinated beef slices in the remaining 1/4 cup of cornstarch until lightly coated.
• In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and hot water (or low sodium chicken or beef stock) until the sugar is dissolved. Mix in 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce. If you don't have low sodium soy sauce, substitute 2 1/2 tablespoons regular soy sauce and 1 1/2 tablespoons water. The saltiness of various soy sauce brands varies, so give the sauce a taste, and adjust the amounts of sugar/soy sauce/water/stock to your own taste.
• Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil in the wok over high heat. Just before the oil starts to smoke, spread the flank steak pieces evenly in the wok, and sear for 1 minute (depending upon the heat of your wok). Turn over and let the other side sear for another 30 seconds. Remove to a sheet pan. Tilt it slightly to let the oil drain to one side (lean it on a cookbook or cutting board). The beef should be seared with a crusty coating.
• Drain the oil from the wok, leaving 1 tablespoon behind, and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the ginger and dried chili peppers, if using. After about 15 seconds, add the garlic. Stir for another 10 seconds and add the premixed sauce.
• Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes and slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry mixture. Cook until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Add the beef and scallions and toss everything together for another 30 seconds. There should be almost no liquid, as the sauce should be clinging to the beef. If you still have sauce, increase the heat slightly and stir until thickened. Plate and serve with steamed rice!

Steps:

• In a large ziplock bag add the sliced flank steak and cornstarch. Toss the beef to coat evenly. Heat a large skillet to high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once heated, add the steak in a single layer and cook on each side for about a minute until the edges just start to brown. Once the steak is cooked, remove and set aside on a plate.
• In a small mixing bowl combine soy sauce, brown sugar, water, ginger, and garlic. Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a boil. Add the steak to the sauce and allow the sauce to thicken for a couple of minutes. Toss with the chopped green onions and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

Steps:

• For the beef: Slice the flank steak across the grain into 3/4-inch (19 millimeters)-thick slices on an angle to make planks then cut the planks into 3/4-inch (19 millimeters) cubes. Combine the cornstarch, baking soda and salt with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and set aside. Place the steak in a shallow bowl and add the water, vegetable, and cornstarch mixture. Massage all the ingredients into the meat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 12 hours.
• For the sauce: Combine the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, vinegar, garlic and half the ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the stir-fry: Heat the oil to medium-high in a wok or medium saute pan. Stir in the beef and cook to medium-rare, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Drain off excess oil. Add the garlic and remaining ginger and saute 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in the bell peppers and onions and let them cook until the edges of the onion and bell peppers begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the scallion whites, dried chilies and sauce, stir constantly and let it cook for about 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
• Transfer to a platter and garnish with the scallion greens.

EASY MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan until very hot.
• Mix the cornflour with a good pinch of salt and pepper and toss the steak strips in the cornflour.
• Cook the steak strips in the oil (turning occasionally) until very dark and crispy. You can do this in two batches, but I usually manage this in one. You just need to make sure the oil is really hot, and then leave the steak cooking in the oil for a good 5 minutes before turning. Don't keep moving it around the pan, or you won't achieve that dark, crunchy coating.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef from the pan. Place it on a plate with some kitchen roll on to drain off excess fat.
• Pour out all but 1 tbsp of oil from the pan, turn the heat down to medium and allow the oil to cool a little. Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute - stirring often to avoid burning the garlic.
• Add in the soy sauce, pepper, sugar and water into the wok.
• Give it a good mix and turn up the heat and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
• Then add the crispy beef back to the wok and cook for a further 2 minutes.
• Then turn off the heat and stir in the spring onions (scallions).
• Serve over boiled rice.

MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• 1. Marinate the beef: Pour cooking oil, cornstarch, salt and black pepper over the beef. Use your fingers to gently massage the ingredients into the beef.
• Allow the beef to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Prepare the sauce by combining soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, brown sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a wok over high heat.
• As the oil is heating up, add the julienned ginger to the wok.
• Stir-fry the beef in small batches. For each batch, spread the beef out in a single layer in the wok, then wait for a few seconds before flipping them over.
• Remove the beef from the wok just as it starts to turn brown. Some pink is okay because it will finish cooking with the sauce. It should take less than a minute to fry each batch.
• Return all of the beef to the wok, then pour the sauce over the beef.
• Stir to combine all the ingredients. The sauce will start to thicken quickly.
• Add scallions to the wok at the last minute. Give all the ingredients a good stir, then transfer the dish to a serving plate.
• Serve immediately with steamed white or brown rice. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4" thick bite-size slices. Dip the steak pieces into the marinade. Let the beef sit for about 30 minutes so that the cornstarch sticks.
• Make the sauce by heating 2 tsp of vegetable oil in a saucepan over med/low heat.
• Add ginger and garlic to the pan to fry, then add all the remaining sauce ingredients (minus the sugar)
• Dissolve the brown sugar in the sauce, then raise the heat to about medium and boil the sauce for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
• Remove it from the heat and set aside.
• Heat up one cup of oil in a wok until its hot but not smoking. Add the beef to the oil and saute for just two minutes, or until the beef just begins to darken on the edges. Stir the meat around a little so that it cooks evenly.
• After a couple minutes, use a large slotted spoon to take the meat out and onto paper towels, then pour the oil leaving about 1 tsp of oil in the wok. Put the pan back over the heat.
• Add the onions, then add the green onions. Cook for one minute.
• Add the beef back in and add the sauce. Cook for one minute.
• Serve on a bed of jasmine rice and garnish with coriander.
