Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces flank steak ((225g, sliced against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices))
1 teaspoon vegetable oil ((plus 1/3 cup for frying))
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup hot water ((or hot low sodium chicken or beef stock))
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ginger
5 dried red chili peppers
2 cloves garlic ((chopped))
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 scallions

Steps:

  • Combine the sliced beef with 1 teaspoon oil, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Marinate for 1 hour. The beef should still be quite moist after it has marinated. If it looks too dry, add a tablespoon of water to it.
  • Next, dredge the marinated beef slices in the remaining 1/4 cup of cornstarch until lightly coated.
  • In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and hot water (or low sodium chicken or beef stock) until the sugar is dissolved. Mix in 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce. If you don't have low sodium soy sauce, substitute 2 1/2 tablespoons regular soy sauce and 1 1/2 tablespoons water. The saltiness of various soy sauce brands varies, so give the sauce a taste, and adjust the amounts of sugar/soy sauce/water/stock to your own taste.
  • Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil in the wok over high heat. Just before the oil starts to smoke, spread the flank steak pieces evenly in the wok, and sear for 1 minute (depending upon the heat of your wok). Turn over and let the other side sear for another 30 seconds. Remove to a sheet pan. Tilt it slightly to let the oil drain to one side (lean it on a cookbook or cutting board). The beef should be seared with a crusty coating.
  • Drain the oil from the wok, leaving 1 tablespoon behind, and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the ginger and dried chili peppers, if using. After about 15 seconds, add the garlic. Stir for another 10 seconds and add the premixed sauce.
  • Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes and slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry mixture. Cook until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Add the beef and scallions and toss everything together for another 30 seconds. There should be almost no liquid, as the sauce should be clinging to the beef. If you still have sauce, increase the heat slightly and stir until thickened. Plate and serve with steamed rice!

SUPER TENDER MONGOLIAN BEEF



Super Tender Mongolian Beef image

My take on restaurant-style Mongolian Beef! Instead of frying the beef, we use a secret ingredient to marinate and tenderize it, and the results are phenomenal!

Provided by Marzia

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1-1¼ pound beef, such as skirt or flank steak trimmed and cut thinly against the grain (at a 45º angle)
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons EACH: cornstarch AND fresh minced garlic
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon EACH: white pepper AND garlic powder
½ small red onion, cut into thick slices
2-3 dried red chilies, optional
6-8 scallions, trimmed and cut into 4-5 pieces each
Oil, for cooking
¼ cup EACH: water AND low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoon brown sugar (I prefer dark brown)
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

Steps:

  • MARINATE: Add the thinly sliced beef, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon water, cornstarch, baking soda, white pepper, and garlic powder to a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside for at least 15 minutes and ideally, 1-2 hours works best to tenderize the meat.
  • SAUCE: Combine the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl with a whisk or in a mason jar with a lid.
  • SEAR THE MEAT: Heat a wok a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 ½ tablespoon of oil and allow for the oil to be just below the smoking point. Add one-third of the meat in a single layer and allow for it to cook through for 1-2 minutes or until it crisp, flip, and continue cooking for another 1 minute. Remove the meat to a plate and repeat with the remaining meat in batches, adding oil as needed.
  • PUT IT TOGETHER: Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the same skillet and sauté the onion slices and dried red chilies for 1 minute. Add the garlic and give it 30 seconds then, add the beef back into the pan and toss. Kick the heat up to the highest setting and stir everything. Drizzle the sauce over the meat and toss to combine so all the meat is evenly coated in the sauce. Allow the sauce to sizzle and thicken a tiny bit before adding the scallions and tossing until the scallion wilt just a bit. Top with sesame seeds and serve warm!

MONGOLIAN BEEF



Mongolian Beef image

This is another American-born Chinese dish that is part of our wok vocabulary. I will always firmly believe that dishes, like Mongolian beef and California roll, that were born in the States are authentic dishes. The secret to tender meat in the wok is the marinade. You will see this in many of my recipes. Baking soda tenderizes the meat, cornstarch and water create a slurry that brings in the baking soda and oil pre-lubricates the meat and keeps us from using too much oil in the wok.

Time 2h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 pounds (750 grams) flank steak, trimmed
2 tablespoons (16 grams) cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) water
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) oyster sauce
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon (4 grams) cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) white vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into large dice
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into large dice
1/2 medium onion, cut into large dice
3 scallions, whites sliced on the bias in 1-inch pieces and greens thinly sliced on the bias, separated
4 to 6 dried chiles

Steps:

  • For the beef: Slice the flank steak across the grain into 3/4-inch (19 millimeters)-thick slices on an angle to make planks then cut the planks into 3/4-inch (19 millimeters) cubes. Combine the cornstarch, baking soda and salt with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and set aside. Place the steak in a shallow bowl and add the water, vegetable, and cornstarch mixture. Massage all the ingredients into the meat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 12 hours.
  • For the sauce: Combine the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, vinegar, garlic and half the ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
  • For the stir-fry: Heat the oil to medium-high in a wok or medium saute pan. Stir in the beef and cook to medium-rare, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Drain off excess oil. Add the garlic and remaining ginger and saute 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in the bell peppers and onions and let them cook until the edges of the onion and bell peppers begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the scallion whites, dried chilies and sauce, stir constantly and let it cook for about 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
  • Transfer to a platter and garnish with the scallion greens.

MONGOLIAN FIRE POT



Mongolian Fire Pot image

Fun, fun, fun!!!! My husband and I did this fire pot for our last dinner party. Everyone loved it and the dinner went on for a long time with lots of laughs and conversation. We also served an assortment of wines. You can serve any meat, seafood or vegetables you wish. Fried rice and Kim Chee are great accompaniments. I would plan 4 people to a pot. We used two pots for our party. This is so much nicer than the messy oil fondues. Cooking time depends on how long you want your party to go on!! LOL

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, strips
1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled,deveined,cut in half lengthwise
1 lb flank steak, sliced in strips
6 -8 ounces fresh baby spinach leaves
1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu, cut in 1 inch squares
6 cups chicken stock
2 slices fresh ginger, smashed with a knife
2 green onions, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Divide the chicken, shrimp, flank steak, spinach leaves and tofu evenly and decoratively on individual platters for each guest.
  • Bring the chicken stock, ginger and green onions to a simmer in a fondue pot.
  • Your guests spear and cook their food with fondue forks.
  • Try to keep the level of chicken stock at 6 cups by adding more to the fondue pot as needed.
  • We also provided chopsticks for eating with.
  • Suggested dipping sauces: Chinese hot mustard, sweet and sour sauce, peanut sauce and curry sauce.
  • If desired, once all the ingredients have been cooked, add 2 beaten eggs, baby spinach and 4 ounces of cooked Chinese noodles to the hot chicken stock and serve in small soup bowls for a delicious soup.
  • End the meal with fortune cookies and green tea ice cream.

Tips:

  • To ensure tender beef, slice it against the grain and marinate it in the soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or wok to prevent the beef from sticking and to evenly distribute heat.
  • If you don't have a Mongolian fire pot, you can use a regular saucepan or skillet. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Add the vegetables in stages, starting with those that take the longest to cook, such as carrots and potatoes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables to create a colorful and flavorful dish. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, bell peppers, onions, and broccoli.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot or wok with vegetables. Otherwise, they won't cook evenly.
  • Serve the Mongolian fire pot beef fillet immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Conclusion:

Mongolian fire pot beef fillet is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and vegetables, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give Mongolian fire pot beef fillet a try.
