Tips:

  • To ensure the beef is flavorful and tender, choose a high-quality cut of flank or skirt steak. Look for meat with a good amount of marbling, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or frying pan instead. Be sure to heat it over high heat before adding the beef.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to toughen.
  • Cook the beef in batches if necessary. Once the first batch is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside. Then, cook the remaining beef in batches until it is all cooked through.
  • Don't overcook the beef. This will make it tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Be sure to use a high-quality soy sauce and oyster sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • If you like your Mongolian beef extra spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Serve Mongolian beef over rice or noodles. You can also add vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, or snow peas to the dish.

Conclusion:

Mongolian beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your Mongolian beef turns out perfectly every time.
