Instructions
- Marinade: Add the sliced flank steak with soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine, eggs, corn starch, and salt and pepper to a medium size bowl and thoroughly mix until combined. You can cover or keep it uncovered and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Sauce: In the meantime, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, rice wine, water, rice wine vinegar, and corn starch medium-size bowl until mixed and smooth. Set it aside.
- Pour 3 tablespoons of cooking oil to a wok over high heat until smoke begins to roll off the wok.
- Add the beef to the wok and immediately push the beef up the sides of the pan using a large stir-fry spoon to sear the beef. Cook it for a total of 30 to 45 seconds.
- Next, holding the handle of the wok in one hand while placing your cooking spoon in the center of the pan, rock the wok handle back and forth while moving the spoon in a small circular motion to stir-fry the beef. Do this for 20 to 30 seconds until the beef is cooked throughout.
- Set the beef onto a side plate.
- Return the wok to the cooktop over high heat and pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into it and stir fry some garlic, ginger, and onions for 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Add in the dried chiles.
- Add in the sauce and cook until it becomes thick like a syrup, which only takes about 30 to 45 seconds.
- Put the cooked beef back into the work along with the green onions and gently mix until combined.
- Serve the Mongolian beef with cooked rice and more green onions for garnish.
