Ingredients

1 lb flank steak

1/2 cup green onions; or 2 individual stalks (or large white onion chopped for less 'onion-y' flavor :)

5 - 8 fresh Cayenne peppers (red chile peppers); whole

1 large carrot

1 large green bell pepper

2 tbsp peanut oil

1 tsp cornstarch

Marinade

3 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

3 tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp chili oil

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp sugar

4 tbsp soy sauce

Sauce

2 tbsp rice wine vinegar

3 tbsp hoisin sauce

1 tsp hot chili garlic sauce

2 tbsp soy sauce

3/4 c hot water

Directions

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.

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.

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.
