Mongolian Beef
RECIPE COURTESY OF JET TILA
Level: Easy
Total: 2 hr 25 min (includes marinating time)
Active: 25 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
Beef:
1 1/2 pounds (750 grams) flank steak, trimmed
2 tablespoons (16 grams) cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) water
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil
Sauce:
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) oyster sauce
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon (4 grams) cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) white vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
Stir-Fry:
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into large dice
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into large dice
1/2 medium onion, cut into large dice
3 scallions, whites sliced on the bias in 1-inch pieces and greens thinly sliced on the bias, separated
4 to 6 dried chiles
Directions
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.

This is more of a question than a comment. What kind of knife is Jet using while making this Mongolian Beef recipe?
You made me so hungry. 🙂
❤❤❤
Got all of my " mise en place" ready. I like to remove the little knob thingies from the ginger and then just use a potato peeler. Works like a champ!
Absolutely fantastic video – great recipe & techniques ! Thank you & Cheers from Seattle 🍻
😊❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful technique but you waisted Ginger. We don't waist Ginger in Asia Pacific
Jet….. You not only explained everything very well but told us WHY you do the little things that make a difference. I couldn't sleep and its midnight and I'm dying to try it out!! You made me soo hungry👍
Thanks Jet. I subbed and will be watching a lot more of you recipes. 😀😁
U didn’t say how much cornstarch to add.😢
What about Shao Xing wine?
Looks great but the salt content is too high .
Where is the receipt??
Looks yummy will try this definitely
❤❤❤❤
Sorry, it isn't Mongolian beef. Mongolian meat very delicious, so don't use seasoning. Mongolian dish don't use baking soda, oyster sauce etc. It seems Chinese. Mongolian beef keep original meat flavor. Use salt. Sometimes onion, garlic.
Excellent teacher!
Best teacher ever!!
I gave a "thumbs up", but wasting time on showing how to cut/prepare onions, garlic, peppers is just tedious and this should be presumed as to be known
Thank u 🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍👍🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
I make this Mongolian beef all the time ❤I love it I make it all the time. I separated and put it in freezer bags and when I want it I just go pull it out the freezer and add rice 🙏 thank you for this recipe.
Well done!!!
Anyone know if i could use filet mignon's?
Thank you!!
I love and enjoyed the way you teach very calm and proffecional
Would you give the name of your knife you used. I have bought so many but I’m not satisfied
Thank you God bless
Call it "across " the grain rather than the negative "against"! People might just understand!
Peel your ginger with a teaspoon!
Good video. The dish looks good.. but my mother would scold me if i waste that much food 😂
