Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 4 Green onions, chopped
- 0 Cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Trim any visible fat from the flank steak and slice it into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Step 2
Place the sliced steak into a bowl or zip-top bag. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the beef and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, minced ginger, and garlic. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Step 5
Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to the skillet and let it heat. Working in batches if needed, cook the beef strips for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 7
Return the cooked beef strips to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. If using red pepper flakes, sprinkle them in at this time.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency and the beef is fully cooked through.
Step 9
Add the chopped green onions to the skillet and stir gently to combine.
Step 10
Serve the Mongolian beef hot over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a WW Core-friendly option.
