Mongolian Beef with Rice

This is going to be our new take out. Sorry local Golden Dragon but there is a new feast night meal in town! My husband made this tonight and apart from being quick it was so amazing tummy pleasing. Our 4 year old ate 2 helpings!


So simple simple

This Serves 2   (Should have made more)

You will need;

Vegetable Oil / Olive Oil
280g Steak, Fat Removed, Sliced Thin
1 tsp fine diced fresh Ginger
3 cloves fine diced garlic
110 ml soy sauce
110 ml cold water
120g Sugar
30g Corn Flour, To toss Beef Pieces
3 Spring Onions, Sliced
Some Long Grain Rice


Get your rice cooking!

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan
To cook the beef you need to lightly brown the beef first.
Make corn flour paste by mixing a little water to the flour at a time until you have a smooth paste
Lightly coat each strip in the corn flour and place in the hot pan. Cook very lightly until the outside of the strips are brown but the inside is uncooked. Move to some kitchen towel to drain

For the sauce, use the oil left in the pan or add another tbsp if needed and gently cook the ginger and garlic
Add soy sauce, water and sugar. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3-4 minutes

Return Beef Strips to the pan and cook through

Once the beef is cooked add the Spring Onions and mix through. These don't need much cooking

Serve on a bed of rice


Most importantly... ENJOY!
