Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 4 Green onions, chopped
- Cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Trim any visible fat from the flank steak and slice it into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Place the sliced steak into a bowl or zip-top bag. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the beef and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, minced ginger, and garlic. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to the skillet and let it heat. Working in batches if needed, cook the beef strips for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Return the cooked beef strips to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. If using red pepper flakes, sprinkle them in at this time.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency and the beef is fully cooked through.
Add the chopped green onions to the skillet and stir gently to combine.
Serve the Mongolian beef hot over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a WW Core-friendly option.
