One Pan Mongolian Beef Recipes

ONE PAN MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Toss the steak strips in the cornstarch and some salt and pepper and set aside for 5 minutes. Heat half the oil in a wok or frying pan over a high heat and fry the steak until browned all over. Remove and set aside.
• Heat the rest of the oil and fry the garlic, ginger and spring onions over a medium heat for 2 minutes.
• Add the stir-fry vegetables to the pan with a splash of water and fry for 1 minute before adding the chile flakes, soy sauce and sugar along with 200 milliliters (3/4 cup) water. Return the steak to the pan with the noodles and bubble until you have a glossy sauce that coats the noodles. Serve straight away.

EASY SLOW COOKER MONGOLIAN BEEF RECIPE

Steps:

• Add sliced flank steak and cornstarch to a large resealable plastic bag. Close and shake to coat well. This can be done in a large mixing bowl as well, but I find it's less messy to do in a bag.
• To the bottom of slow cooker, add vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, water, soy sauce, brown sugar and Sriracha sauce. Stir to combine.
• Add in coated flank steak and carrots and stir again until everything is coated in the sauce.
• Cover and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours or on LOW for about 4 hours, until steak is cooked and tender.
• Serve over white rice and garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

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.

ONE PAN MONGOLIAN BEEF ZOODLES

• In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet / saute pan on medium high heat until pan starts to get smoky. Add beef and allow to sear and cook until brown on all sides, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer onto a plate.
• Return pan to heat. Add pineapples and cook until slightly browned and softened, around 5 minutes, Toss in carrots and beef then give the sauce a good stir then pour into pan, coating the ingredients on all sides.
• *If cooking the zucchini noodles, add into pan and use tongs to toss and coat with sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until zucchini is just tender but still firm. Be careful not to overcook.
• Serve immediately and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
• Notes.
• *do not overcook for longer than 2 minutes or else noodles will get too soft and mushy. You can also serve the beef over raw zucchini noodles if desired.

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.
