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!

SPICY MONGOLIAN BEEF
This recipe is nice and spicy. The version below has an average amount of chili in it, but if you are like us and love a bit of heat you can add another couple of spoons of Sambal Oelek. Better yet, go crazy with some Sriracha sauce or some fresh chilies. This recipe is adapted from an Australian Women's Weekly cookbook. UPDATE: Changed the cut of meat after the first review to make it more relevant to North America.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh ginger and garlic. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger. For the best garlic flavor, use fresh garlic. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- If you like your salad spicy, add more chili sauce or red pepper flakes. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the chili sauce or red pepper flakes.
- If you don't have flank steak, you can use another type of thin-sliced beef, such as sirloin or skirt steak. Just make sure to cook it quickly over high heat so that it doesn't become tough.
- To save time, you can use store-bought coleslaw mix instead of making your own. Just be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.
- This salad is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
This spicy Mongolian beef salad is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The flank steak is tender and juicy, the vegetables are crisp and fresh, and the dressing is perfectly spicy. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
