Mongolian Beef

Inspired by Beef It's What's For Dinner

Prep time: 5-10 minutes (not including thaw time)

Cooking time: 5-10 minutes

Tools:

• Medium (or large) pan
• Bowl (to marinate the meat)
• Plate (to set cooked meat aside)

Ingredients:

• 1 lb beef steak, sliced
• 1 tbsp minced garlic (or homemade chili garlic paste)
• 1/4 tsp (or sprinkle) red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup onions, diced (or green onions, chopped)
• 1/4 cup oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp sugar (or brown sugar)
• 1 tbsp ginger, chopped (optional)
• 1 handful mushrooms (optional)

Directions:

It should go without saying, but thaw your meat before starting!

1.) Mix beef steak with a tablespoon of garlic or chili garlic paste in a bowl.  Let marinate while preparing other ingredients.

2.) Cook meat with medium heat about 1-2 minutes each side or until no longer pink.  Set aside when done.

3.) Turn heat down to medium-low and cook the onions (and ginger and mushrooms if desired) until fragrant.  Pour the oyster sauce and sugar and let simmer for about 1-2 minutes.  If cooking with mushrooms, let those cook a bit longer, about another 1-2 minutes.

4.) Place steak back in and mix well.

Voila!  You did it!
