MONGOLIAN BEEF AND VEGETABLES

This takeout favorite is typically laden with beef and coated with a sticky-sweet sauce. Our makeover makes crisp-tender snow peas, broccoli, and carrots the star, with seared flank steak as the supporting player. We also balanced the blend of brown sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil in the sauce. We've kept our version family friendly by omitting the heat, but you can add a sliced red chile or a healthy pinch of crushed red pepper if you like. You can also change up the vegetables: Try snap peas, mushrooms, red bell pepper, or cauliflower florets.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 lb flank steak
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 cup snow peas
1 cup Broccolini, tops
4 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon grated gingerroot
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup light soy sauce or 1/4 tamari
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons black bean garlic sauce (available at Asian specialty grocery stores and the Asian section of some larger grocery stores)

Steps:

Wrap the flank steak in wrap and freeze for 1 hour to make slicing easier. Then, slice into 1/4 inch strips. Toss with cornstarch and let sit for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, make sauce by combining Hoisin sauce, Soy Sauce, brown sugar and Bean sauce. Feel free to add more soy for a saltier sauce, more brown sugar for a sweeter sauce, or more bean and garlic sauce for a more savory sauce. This is your dinner ~ don't be afraid to change it a bit :-).
Stir fry the veggies and ginger in 1 T canola until just cooked through but still firm. Remove from pan and set aside. Then add the remaining canola oil and stir fry the beef over high heat until browned, about 4 minutes or so. Return veggies to pan, and add sauce and cook for about 1 minute longer.
Serve over white rice.

Use a flavorful marinade. This will help the beef absorb flavor and become more tender.
Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet. This will prevent the beef from cooking evenly.
Stir-fry the beef in batches if necessary. This will help ensure that it cooks evenly.
Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking. This will help them retain their crunch.
Serve the Mongolian beef and vegetables over rice or noodles. This will make a complete and satisfying meal.
