DIY Mongolian Beef Stir Fry Recipe.
My daughter in law is always sharing her “food porn” with the world on facebook! It is mouth watering, and irresistible!! Last week she was so kind to share her Mongolian Beef stir fry recipe with us and I just had to get it made ASAP! Her photo was MUCH better than mine, but the end result was fabulous! The family gobbled it up (except the veggies – kids are VERY picky!! )
Next time I might add some carrots and green beans. At least I know they will eat those. Broccoli and mushrooms are a definite “I’m not eating that!”
Ingredients
2 tsp vegetable oil or a vegetable oil substitute
1/2 tsp minced gingerÂ
1 tbsp of minced garlicÂ
1/2 cup soy sauceÂ
1/2 cup waterÂ
3/4 cup dark brown sugar (I used 1/2 cup light brown… thought this was a bit much for the amount of sauce. If you like it REAL sweet don’t change the ingredients)
1/2 Cup vegetable oil- for fryingÂ
1 pound tri-tip beef – or London broil works nicely
1/2 cup cornstarchÂ
bundle of green onions, cut up into 1-2 inch in lengthÂ
dash of sesame oil
variety of chopped veggies to your liking
Instructions
Cut the steak into medium size peaces toss in corn starch and fry it until golden brown. Drain it from the oil set it aside.
Sauce: combine soy, ginger, garlic, brown sugar and water in the medium pan let it cook for 10 min or until it starts thickening.
For preferences if you want to add more veggies such as mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers or so on I would cook them on the side on high heat then add them at the end so they get covered in sauce and not boil and turn soft.
Serve it over rice since it’s very rich and think sauce dish..

I made this & it was great. I used Costco’s cooked sliced beef just 1 pkg (it comes in 2) . Though it’s cooked I still dredged in the corn starch and just cooked it browned it up quick for the sauce I only used 1/3 of a cup of brown sugar & 1/3 cup of corn starch. I also added some red pepper flakes and & 1/8 of tsp of garlic chilli sauce. I add a 12 oz pkg of steamed broccoli too. It was so quick and delicious will definitely be making this again . Thank you!
