While cooking the sauce, I slice up the steak. 
TIP: the steak is easier to slice if its slightly frozen.

Add the green onions at the end so they still have a bite and some green to them. Toss them with the meat to soften slightly. Save some for garnish if you wish.

I usually serve it with rice but I could really just eat this entire bowl myself. Well, maybe I could eat some leftovers for breakfast.

​Mongolian Beef
Serves 4 -  
Can easily be cut in half to serve only 2
Prep Time: 20 min    Cook Time: 10 min
 
Ingredients:
Vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic, I buy mine in the jar, but you could use fresh
1 tsp  minced fresh ginger, I buy mine minced in the jar, you could use fresh
1 cup soy sauce, I usually use low sodium.
1 cup water
1 cup brown sugar,
2ish lbs of steak, I use whatever is lean and on sale
1/2 cup cornstarch
2-3 green onions sliced into1-inch pieces
Directions:Heat 1-2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a small saucepot over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté until golden, about 2 minutes.  Add the soy sauce and water, stir to combine.
Turn the heat up to medium and add the brown sugar . Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring for  about 3 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
Slice the steak against the grain into 1/4-inch pieces, then toss it with the cornstarch. Allow the steak to sit 10 for minutes, to absorb some of the cornstarch.
Place a large Fry/sauté pan or wok over medium-high heat and add 1/2 cup vegetable oil.  Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), add the beef to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes until it is seared on all sides but barely cooked in the center. Remove the steak from the pan with a slotted spoon and transfer it onto a paper towel-lined plate. Pour any excess oil out of the pan.
Add the prepared sauce to the hot wok (beware, it will come to a boil almost immediately), then add the steak and cook at a boil, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Add green onions, stirring to combine and immediately remove steak with a slotted spoon.
Serve with rice or steamed vegetables.                                                            
      Enjoy!
