Ingredients

• 500 g Flank steak
• 60 g Cornstarch
• 60 ml Vegetable oil
• 120 ml Soy sauce
• 100 g Brown sugar
• 125 ml Water
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 20 g Fresh ginger
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 3 stalks Green onion
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 4 servings Cooked rice

Directions

Step 1

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the beef strips with cornstarch until they are evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef is marinating, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until the sugar dissolves and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick pan or wok over medium-high heat and add 30 ml of vegetable oil.

Step 5

Add the marinated beef strips in a single layer to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and slightly crispy. You may need to do this in batches. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the remaining 30 ml of vegetable oil. Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the pan and pour the prepared sauce over the top. Stir everything together and let cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Add chopped green onions and mix well just before taking the pan off the heat.

Step 9

Serve the Mongolian Stir Fry hot, garnished with sesame seeds, over a bed of cooked rice.
