Ingredients

Method

  1. In a large bowl, coat the thinly sliced beef with the cornflour, ensuring each piece is well coated. Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, hoisin, rice wine vinegar and Korean chilli flakes to the wok, stirring until the sugar has dissolved completely. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  4. Remove the sauce from the wok and set aside.
  5. In the same wok, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over a high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
  6. Sauté the vegetables; broccoli, spring onions, pepper, baby corn and fine beans to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they become slightly tender.
  7. Return the cooked beef to the wok and pour the sauce over it. Stir everything together, ensuring the beef and onions are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef beautifully.
  8. Remove the wok from the heat and garnish the Mongolian beef stir fry with sliced green onions.
  9. Serve the Mongolian beef stir fry hot over steamed rice and indulge in the delightful flavours of this dish.
