30 MINUTE MONGOLIAN BEEF STIR-FRY #BREAKFAST #BEEF
Sorry for the absence of pictures today. I wasn't anticipating sharing this formula, yet it turns out we truly adored it! What's more, I mean, how would we be able to not? It's Asian-motivated, stacked with veggies, requires just 1 dish, and prepared in only 30 minutes!! It's a champ all around.
This formula is extremely simple to put together, and you can basically utilize whatever veggies you have available. With regards to picking the correct cut of hamburger, stick with flank steak, or in the event that you can't locate that specific cut, skirt, holder, or level iron are largely extraordinary alternatives. Try not to be reluctant to go up to the counter and approach your butcher for what you need. I do this constantly! You'd be amazed by what they convey behind the counter and what they're eager to unique request for you.
I don't especially like sweet Asian dishes, so I chose to curtail the sugar and include a touch more soy sauce. Simply make certain to snatch low-sodium!
My final expression of counsel is to give your meat a chance to rest at room temperature for in any event 15 minutes before fricasseeing it. Not exclusively will it enable the cornstarch to follow, however it will help give the meat a pleasant fresh burn (hurling cold meat into hot oil will lessen the temperature of the oil essentially).
- 1½ lbs. flank steak, cut across the grain into ¼-inch strips
- 3 tbsp. cornstarch
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
For the sauce:
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- ¼ tsp. fresh grated ginger root (or paste)
- ½ c. water
- ? c. hoisin sauce
- ?. c. low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
- ½ tsp. crushed chili paste or chili flakes
For the vegetables:
- ½ c. sliced water chestnuts
- 1 c. chopped bell peppers
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets and lightly steamed
- 3 green onions cut into 1-inch pieces
Directions:
- Toss the strips of beef in the corn starch and let them sit on the cutting board for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan set over medium heat add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, lightly sauté the garlic for a minute, then add the ginger and cook for 30 seconds. Pour the remaining ingredients in the pan and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce begins to reduce or thicken. Keep warm while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, add the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, quickly stir-fry the beef in 2-3 batches. You want it to be nice and crisp on the outsides, but not cooked throughout. Transfer cooked beef to a plate. If the pan has a lot of oil in it, remove all but 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Add the vegetables and sauté for 2-3 minutes before returning the beef to the skillet. Add the sauce, stir, and allow everything to cook for an additional 2 minutes before removing from the heat. Serve immediately with a side of steamed rice or your favorite noodles.
Notes:
- I used a Ziploc steam bag to steam my broccoli. It's so quick and easy!!
