Mongolian Beef Stir Fry — (Better Than Takeout in 30 Minutes)

instructions

Step 1. Prep the Beef:

  • Place sliced beef in a bowl and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated. This helps create tender meat and a glossy sauce.

Step 2. Make the Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.

Step 3. Sear the Beef:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add beef in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove beef and set aside.

Step 4. Build the Sauce:

  • Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 5. Combine & Finish:

  • Return beef to the pan and toss to coat. Add green onions and sesame oil. Cook for 1–2 more minutes.
