Best Mongolian Beef

---

This Mongolian Beef recipe is made by my wonderful father. This was one of my favorites at his Chinese restaurant and was loved by many. The beef is so flavorful, tender, and juicy! My parents are now retired but I always will remember my dads’ delicious recipe. Hope you guys try to make it at home, you won’t regret it.

Ingredients you need for your mongolian beef:

• beef tenderloin or beef chuck
• salt
• sugar
• soy sauce
• shaoxing cooking wine
• baking soda
• corn starch
• water
• olive oil
• chicken bouillon
• white pepper

stir-fry

• vegetable oil
• green onions
• white onion
• garlic cloves
• dried red pepper
• soy sauce
• sugar

Steps to make the mongolian beef:

• Step 1. Slice beef tenderloin or beef chuck into thin slices and place in a bowl. For the beef marinade: add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon shaoxing cooking wine, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon corn starch, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon, and a pinch of white pepper. Add a little bit of oil on top of the beef to seal in moisture.
• Step 2. Marinate beef for a minimum of 30 minutes to 1 hour. After marinating, you will see that the liquid is soaked up. Give the beef a good stir before frying.
• Step 3. Prep your onions/garlic/dried red peppers before cooking the beef. Cut 6-8 green onions in 2 inches. Slice 1 small white onion and 2 garlic cloves. Set aside and prepare the stir fry!
• Step 4. Heat up your pan or wok on high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 2 tbs oil. Next fry your beef on high heat until the beef has a nice brown sear. Be careful, the beef has moisture so when it hits the oil, there will be some splatter. I recommend to cover the pan with a lid when the oil starts to splatter.
• Step 5. Once beef has a nice brown sear, set it aside.
• Step 6. In the pan (still on high heat), there should be some leftover oil from frying the beef. The oil has good flavor so don’t throw away ◡̈ Add 6-8 dried red pepper and 2 sliced garlic. Keep stirring to make sure garlic doesn’t burn. We’re looking for a roasted red pepper and slight golden on the garlic. (takes 1 minute)
• Step 7. Add sliced white onions in the pan when the dried red pepper has turned a darker red color. Stir fry onions until translucent. (takes 1-2 minutes)
• Step 8. Add beef back in with the dried red peppers, white onions, garlic. Add green onions, 1 tbs soy sauce, 1 tbs sugar and fry for one minute. The dish is yummy and savory. Its perfect when you serve with some white rice ◡̈ Hope you enjoy!
