Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 500g beef strips, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 cup water or broth
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Slice the beef into thin strips, chop the green onions, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Have all ingredients ready before heating the pan.
  2. Cook the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear the beef until it develops a browned crust but remains tender inside. Remove cooked beef and set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté briefly until fragrant. Pour in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), soy sauce (natural), brown sugar, and water or broth. Stir well. Gradually sprinkle in the natural gelling agent while stirring constantly to thicken the sauce.
  4. Combine and Finish: Return the beef to the pan and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Add chopped green onions and optional chili flakes to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes so the flavors meld perfectly.

Notes

  • Use thin beef cuts such as flank steak or sirloin for best results.
  • Cook beef in batches to avoid steaming and ensure a perfect sear.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar in the sauce to control sweetness to your liking.
  • Add the natural gelling agent gradually to prevent lumps in the sauce.
  • Serve Mongolian Beef immediately to keep the beef tender and sauce glossy.
