Yen Can Cook ~ Mongolian Beef (True Aussie Beef)
Mongolian Beef, despite its name, the dish has nothing to do with Mongolian cuisine. It is a Chinese-American (or American-Chinese) dish but there’s information mentions that it’s a dish from Taiwan. But anyway, Mongolian Beef is basically beef slices coated with a sweet savory brown sauce. It is a popular Chinese takeout and P.F. Chang’s version of this dish is probably the most well-known.
I was invited to join virtual lunch & webinar organized by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) recently. The guests were given some premium True Aussie beef/lamb to try out and here’s my simple recipe to prepare the yakiniku halal beef slices.
Ingredients (Serve: 2-3)
220g, beef slices/sliced flanked steak
1/2 thumb-sized ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 spring onions, cut into 5cm lengths
Cooking oil
Sesame seed for garnishing (optional)
Sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2.5 tablespoons soy sauce
40ml water
Marinade
1.5 teaspoon cooking oil
1.5 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Cornstarch Slurry
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 tablespoon water
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: Marinate the beef slices with the marinade for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Combine all the ingredients of sauce and mix until the sugar is dissolved. Give the sauce a taste, and adjust the amounts of sugar/soy sauce/water to your own taste.
step 3: Heat up a wok with cooking oil and stir-fry the marinated beef until they are half-done. Dish out and set aside.
Step 4: In the same wok, add some oil and stir-fry the garlic and ginger until aromatic. Add in sauce mixture (Step 2)
Step 5: Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes and slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry mixture. Cook until the sauce has thickened.
Step 6: Add the beef (Step 3) and scallions, toss everything together for another 30 seconds or the sauce is evenly coated on the beef.
Step 7: Garnish with sesame seeds and serve

I am sure this is delicious! Will try this recipe once I buy beef.
PH, hope you will like it!
Ah, I expected you to be among one of the recipients of this true Aussie beef (I got the invite too). Simple stir-fry meat like this is the best…I like to add sliced onions to mine beside spring onions though I usually do it with pork.
Kris, as usual you rejected the invite, >_< I've came across recipes which onion is added too. This dish goes really well with rice.
Wow!!! Your food presentation is very nice. I am so hungry looking at the photos with all the sesame seeds sprinkled. I can imagine how tasty it is.
TM, this dish is really nice! Try it out if you love beef too!
Memang cantik, nak!
KY, your dishes also not bad mah, hehe 😛
