#26 June's Restaurant Challenge--PF Chang's Mongolian Beef
Sauce:
2 TBSP Vegetable oil
1/2 tsp ginger
1 TBSP chopped garlic
1/2 C soy sauce
1/2 C water
3/4 C brown sugar
Beef:
1 C vegetable oil
1 lb flank steak or lean frying steak
1/4 C cornstarch
2 large green onions, chopped.
Make the sauce by heating 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in medium saucepan over med/high heat. Don't get it too hot or it will splatter. Then add ginger and garlic. Now add soy sauce and water. Dissolve the brown sugar in the sauce and raise heat to boil about 2-3 mins until it begins to thicken. Remove it from the heat.
Slice the steak against the grain into 1/4" pieces, dip in cornstarch and let sit for 10 mins. Heat up the 1C of veg oil in a wok or large fry pan, on medium heat until nice and hot. Add beef and saute for 3-4 mins, cooking meat but not all the way through. Take out meat and drain on paper towel and pour the oil out. Put the pan back over the heat and put the meat back in, heating for about a minute. Then add the sauce and continue cooking for another minute, then add the green onions. Cook for another minute and then remove the beef and onions from sauce. Serve over rice. Serves 2.
***I saved some of the sauce to put with the meat over rice. There was tons of sauce and I think you could easily cook double the meat/onion mixture and still have plenty of sauce to coat it.***
**Vegetarians, this sauce is fantastic and could go great with steamed veggies in it instead of meat**
Taste: 5/5 This was the first time I have made Chinese food at home that actually worked out to taste like a restaurant Chinese
Ease of preparation: 5/5 This was quite easy to make.
Brit-rating: GREATed it "Mmmmmm."
Serve to guests: Yes, if I could find some other good homemade Chinese dishes to go with it.
