Low Fat Mongolian Beef Recipes

Steps:

• Place flank steak in freezer 30 minutes. Cut against the grain into 1/8-inch slices; place in medium bowl.
• In small bowl, beat soy sauce, brown sugar, gingerroot, sesame oil, garlic and pepper flakes until sugar is dissolved. Add 1/4 cup of the soy sauce mixture to beef; toss to coat. Reserve remaining soy sauce mixture. Cover and refrigerate beef 45 minutes.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the marinated beef, spreading it out into single layer; cook 1 minute on each side until browned. Transfer beef to plate. Add another 1 tablespoon oil to skillet; repeat cooking remaining half of beef. Transfer to plate.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add carrots; cook and stir about 2 minutes or until they begin to soften. Add 3 green onions cut into 1-inch slices; cook another minute.
• Add broth to reserved soy sauce mixture. Beat in cornstarch and water with whisk; add to hot skillet. Cook until sauce is boiling and thickened. Add beef and cooked rice noodles; toss to coat with sauce, and heat through. Transfer to serving plate; garnish with 3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions.

Steps:

• Slice the flank steak against the grain and toss in ¼ cup of cornstarch. (I use a large zip loc bag)
• Make sauce: Heat ½ tsp olive oil, add ginger and garlic. Cook but don't burn. Add the soy sauce, water and brown sugar - bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and place sauce in a separate bowl.
• Add 1 tsp oil and brown beef (if the beef seems oily you might want to take it out of the skillet and let drain on a paper towel)
• Add sauce, green onions and cook through
• Serve with rice.
