- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin steak, thinly sliced

- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

- In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing together the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and rice vinegar.
- In a wok over medium-high heat, heat the peanut oil.
- Add the beef and fry just until the surfaces turn brown.
- Add the ginger and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant, 2 or 3 seconds.
- Add the sauce and stir to coat the beef.
- Turn off the heat and add the scallions. Give it one last stir to very lightly heat up the scallions but not to cook them.
- Transfer the dish to a serving plate.
Notes
- Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best flavors.
- Take care not to overcook the beef. You just want to brown it, if you overcook it it can get tough.
- To make your beef easier to slice, you can freeze it for 10 minutes.
- If you like your Mongolian beef spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. you can also add a few dried red chiles when stir-frying the beef.
