MANDARIN INN'S FAMOUS MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Dissolve the cornstarch in the stock and then add the other sauce ingredients. Set aside.
• Heat 2 cups oil in wok or other deep skillet to 350°F Drain beef and fry in oil until almost done (until it loses its pink color). Drain beef in colander. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of oil from wok. (To be honest, I don't deep-fry the beef - I just saute it in a bit of oil).
• Over high heat, add the garlic, ginger and scallions. Stir for about 15 seconds.
• Add the mixed sauce ingredients and stir for about 15 seconds until hot.
• Add meat and stir for a few seconds until reheated.

Steps:

• For the beef: Slice the flank steak across the grain into 3/4-inch (19 millimeters)-thick slices on an angle to make planks then cut the planks into 3/4-inch (19 millimeters) cubes. Combine the cornstarch, baking soda and salt with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and set aside. Place the steak in a shallow bowl and add the water, vegetable, and cornstarch mixture. Massage all the ingredients into the meat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 12 hours.
• For the sauce: Combine the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, vinegar, garlic and half the ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the stir-fry: Heat the oil to medium-high in a wok or medium saute pan. Stir in the beef and cook to medium-rare, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Drain off excess oil. Add the garlic and remaining ginger and saute 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in the bell peppers and onions and let them cook until the edges of the onion and bell peppers begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the scallion whites, dried chilies and sauce, stir constantly and let it cook for about 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
