SUPER EASY MONGOLIAN BEEF (TASTES JUST LIKE P.F. CHANGS!)

Steps:

• In a large ziplock bag add the sliced flank steak and cornstarch. Toss the beef to coat evenly. Heat a large skillet to high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once heated, add the steak in a single layer and cook on each side for about a minute until the edges just start to brown. Once the steak is cooked, remove and set aside on a plate.
• In a small mixing bowl combine soy sauce, brown sugar, water, ginger, and garlic. Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a boil. Add the steak to the sauce and allow the sauce to thicken for a couple of minutes. Toss with the chopped green onions and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Don't get the oil too hot.
• Add ginger and garlic to the pan. Then quickly add the soy sauce and water before the garlic scorches.
• Dissolve the brown sugar in the sauce, then increase the heat to medium and boil the sauce for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
• Remove from heat.
• Slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4" thick slices. Tilt the blade of your knife at about a forty five degree angle to the top of the steak so that you get wider cuts.
• Place the cut steak in a large resealable bag and add cornstarch. Shake the bag to coat the steak completely in cornstarch and let sit for 10 minutes.
• As the beef sits, heat up the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. You want it hot but not smoking.
• Add the beef to the oil and sauté until brown. Stir around a little so that it cooks evenly.
• After a couple minutes, use a large slotted spoon or tongs to take meat out and place on paper towels. Dab excess oil off meat with a paper towel and add to medium saucepan with the sauce in it.
• Put the pan back on the oven over medium/low heat.
• Serve over cooked rice.
• Garnish with green onion, if desired.
