Mongolian BBQ Recipe
Unlike the name suggests, the Mongolian BBQ Recipe is not of Mongolian Origin. Also, it is not some recipe that is a traditional BBQ at all.
Ingredients
To Marinate:
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Sake or rice wine
For Beef:
- 400 grams Beef flank
- 2 Roughly chopped garlic cloves
- 4 cm Finely chopped ginger strip
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch mixed in an equal amount of water
- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 4 Spring onions (baton cut)
- 5 Red onion (wedge cut)
- 2 tsp Roughly chopped red chilis
To fry:
- 2 oz Chicken stock (¼ cup)
- 2 tbsp Sake or rice wine
- 2 oz Soy sauce (¼ cup)
- 3 tbsp Brown sugar
For serving:
- ¼ tsp Spring onions minced
- 1 cup Egg noodles
Instructions
- Take a bowl and add cornstarch, rice wine, and baking soda to it. Then add beef. Marinate well.
- Make the stir-fry sauce by combining brown sugar, chicken stock, rice wine, and soy sauce.
- Take a deep skillet and add vegetable oil to it. Heat the oil on a high flame.
- Put the marinated beef in hot oil and saute for 2-3 minutes. When it is cooked, remove from the skillet and place aside.
- Add a small amount of vegetable oil to the same skillet in case no oil is left. Add chilies, garlic, ginger, and red onion, and saute for 30 seconds. (you can also add any other vegetable of your choice such as cabbage, broccoli, carrot bean sprouts, etc.)
- Add the previously made stir-fry sauce to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Keep simmering for 30 seconds.
- Add the cornflour mixed in equal amounts of water and again simmer. Keep simmering until the mixture's consistency becomes thick.
- In this mixture, add the sauteed beef along with spring onions. Mix until everything is equally distributed and well combined. Check for the seasoning adjustments.
- Serve the Mongolian BBQ at first hand with any of the side dishes you wish. The best options are egg noodles or steamed rice. You can also serve it with Mongolian sauce.
