How to make it

  • Remove fat from steak and cut across the grain into 1/4 thick long strips.
  • Mix chili oil, sesame oil & sugar into soy sauce and stir well.
  • Put beef into plastic storage container and add rice wine; mix well with fingers.
  • Add 1 ingredient at a time. After each ingredient, mix well with fingers so it is evenly distributed through all the meat. 1st - salt, 2nd - baking soda, 3rd - cornstarch.
  • Last, add soy sauce mixture and mix well. Cover container with lid and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  • After 3 hours marinading: Heat wok on medium/high to high heat.
  • Mix all sauce ingredients together in 1 bowl. Set next to wok.
  • Add a little bit of water to 1 tsp cornstarch (enough for it to dissolve), mix and set next to wok. It is a thickener for the sauce.
  • Cut 1/2 inch off both ends of green onions and discard. Then cut green onions, 3/4 inch in length (or dice green onions).
  • Cut stems off from red chile peppers.
  • De-seed green bell peppers and cut into 1/4 thick lengthwise pieces.
  • Cut tip of carrots. Use a potato peeler to peel 1st layer of skin from carrot all around. Cut carrot in 1/2 (horizontally). Cut carrot lengthwise about 1/8 inch thick pieces. Set aside.
  • Add 2 tbsp peanut oil to heated wok & let oil heat for 1 minute.
  • Slowly add beef into wok and cook for 6 minutes (until brown) while stirring every 2 minutes.
  • Add onions, chile peppers, bell peppers, carrots then sauce mixture. Mix ingredients around and let come to a boil. Stir occasionally.
  • Add cornstarch mix and stir until sauce thickens.

    My wife pulled a pound of sirloin out of the freezer and didn't tell me. 3 days later it is defrosted in the fridge and I needed to use it up. Searched my "favorites" and came back to this. I didn't have carrots and had red bell pepper along with the green. Also used hot banana peppers in place of the chile peppers. Your marinade and sauce are what does it. Fantastic as always!

    never had bell peper in my mongolian beef. Hmmm.
    But as a different recipe I might give it a try. Not the bell pepper though.

    This turned out fantastic and so easy! I only had Skirt Steak which is very close. MUCH easier than it looks for those who read the comments. 7 Forks if I could.
