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
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!

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
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.

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
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

Steps:
- Divide the chicken, shrimp, flank steak, spinach leaves and tofu evenly and decoratively on individual platters for each guest.

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.
