Easy Mongolian Beef Recipe

I talked in this recent submit of my FOF (worry of frying) and how I vowed to overcome that worry. With this recipe, I have taken on that undertaking. Crispy fried strips of pork (so crispy!) with a delicious, thick, sweet sauce. The colour is so lovely and the flavors so super. I may want to NOT wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow.


It actually turned out to not be that frightening. My fears of the batter not sticking and the beef being raw inner had been tackled with multiple easy steps.

First, I began with my pork. Placing it in the freezer for 15 minutes absolutely enables firm up the steak so you can get a pleasant, thin slice. I figured that with slices this thin, it’s surely tough to now not fully cook dinner the meat regardless of only a quick frying. Check one!

Second, my method for coating the strips in cornstarch, without a doubt appeared to paintings pretty nicely. I poured the cornstarch right into a large Ziploc bag, delivered my pork, and shook until the pieces have been well coated. I then poured the strips out into a massive mesh strainer set over the sink and shook in addition to get all of the extra cornstarch off of the pieces (you could also use a colander). They turned out to be frivolously coated however no longer overly covered within the cornstarch. Check two – No extra batter to fall off!
