**Prep Time:** 15 minutes

**Cook Time:** 15 minutes

**Servings:** 4

### Ingredients:

- 500g beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 bunch of green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces (reserve some for garnish)
- Cooked rice (for serving)
- Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

### Cooking Directions:

- **Prep the Beef:** Thinly slice the beef against the grain. Toss the beef slices in cornstarch until lightly coated. Let sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the sauce.
- **Prepare the Sauce:** In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
- **Cook the Beef:** Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the beef for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.
- **Cook the Aromatics:** In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- **Make the Sauce:** Pour the sauce mixture into the pan with the garlic and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- **Combine Beef and Sauce:** Return the cooked beef to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Add the green onions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- **Serve:** Serve the Mongolian beef over cooked rice. Garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
