Mongolian Beef Stir Fry

written by Emma Tang

Mongolian beef stir fryToday I am going to share a delicious Mongolian Beef Stir Fry recipe with you guys. If you like flavorful, tender, juicy beef (who doesn’t), this is the recipe for you. As always, this dish is very easy to make and I’ll explain in detail how I cooked this popular Asian recipe. Let’s get started!

To begin, I marinated a pound of beef flank steak (cut it into thick slices first) with oil, cooking wine, potato starch, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, salt and ground black pepper for at least half an hour (an hour is ideal). This gives the beef plenty time to fully absorb the flavors from the seasonings. Marinating the beef beforehand is the key to the success of this dish.

Next, I stir fried the beef till it has just changed color. When heat under high heat, it takes only two to three minutes for the beef to be cooked.

After the beef has just stopped appearing pink, immediately add in the scallion, oyster sauce and sugar. It will only take less than a minute for the scallion to turn soft. When it does, remove the dish from heat and serve while hot.

Hi. I loved your bulgogi recipe so much I thought I’d see if you have a suggestion for me. I have a pound of skirt steak. Would this be a good marinade for it and is it okay if I marinate it overnight? TIA!
