Cooking Instructions for making Super Easy Mongolian Beef
Cut Beef into thin bite-size pieces OR strips, and lightly season with Salt & White Pepper. Sprinkle with Potato Starch OR Corn Starch, coat well, and remove excess Starch.
Combine all the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Prepare all other ingredients.
Heat Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, cook Beef pieces until nicely browned, then transfer to a plate. *Note: You might need to cook them in two batches.
Add extra Oil to the pan, add Ginger, Garlic and Chilli, stir until aromatic, add Onion and white parts of Spring Onion, stir for a few minutes, then add green parts of Spring Onion and the cooked Beef, and toss and stir.
Add the Sauce and stir. When the Sauce thickens, it is done. Sprinkle with some Toasted Sesame Seeds, and enjoy with freshly cooked Rice.
