The Woks of Life’s “Mongolian” Beef is one of the most popular recipes on their website so of course it earned a place in their book!
After an hour of marinating in a blend of Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, cornstarch, and baking soda, the beef gets dredged in more cornstarch and seared in a wok (or a large skillet if, like me, you don’t have a wok).
Next, ginger, garlic, and chilis are sautéed and combined with a glaze made of brown sugar and soy sauce.
The final touch involves adding the beef back to the pan along with scallions, tossing and coating in this divine sauce.
You can serve this with rice to savor every bit of this remarkable sauce.
Once the beef is marinated, the whole dish comes together in just a few minutes, making it a flavorful and speedy weeknight meal!
