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.

Tips for Making Mongolian Beef and Vegetables

When preparing the sauce, use low-sodium soy sauce and reduced-sodium beef broth to control the sodium content.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry made from equal parts cornstarch and water. Stir it into the sauce and simmer until thickened.
For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
If you don't have hoisin sauce, you can substitute oyster sauce. Just be aware that oyster sauce is saltier than hoisin, so you may need to adjust the amount you use.
If you want to add more vegetables to this dish, consider stir-frying broccoli, bell peppers, or snow peas along with the beef and carrots.
Serve this dish over rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice. You can also enjoy it as a lettuce wrap.
