This Mongolian Beef is a classic Chinese take out dish that is made of tender beef, aromatics, chilis, and scallions in a sweet and savory sauce. It's so much better than takeout when made at home!

Instructions

Step 1

Slice your steak into 1/4" strips and marinate with light soy sauce, white pepper, Shaoxing wine, baking soda, neutral oil, and corn starch for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare your green onions, garlic, ginger and chilis (deseed the chilis for less heat); set aside.

Step 3

Combine light soy sauce, brown sugar, and warm chicken stock mix; mix until sugar is dissolved.

Step 4

Heat 4 tbsp of neutral oil in a wok over high heat. Shallow fry the beef for 3-4 minutes at 350F, working in batches if necessary so the oil does not drop below 300F. Fry until golden brown and crisp. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Remove leftover oil until about 2 tbsp of neutral oil remains. Over medium high heat, fry your garlic and ginger for 15-30 seconds then add the dried red chilis. Stir fry for another 15-30 seconds until the chilis are slightly toasted and oils have extracted.

Step 6

Add your premixed sauce and stir to combine until the sauce has thickened. Add back your beef and scallions, stir for another 1-2 minutes to coat evenly, and enjoy!
