I love eating simple dishes and I thought Mongolian beef was one of them.
Here’ s what you will need:
- Beef
- Onion
- Soy Sauce
- Cooking Wine
- Garlic
- Brown Sugar
- Oil
- Ginger
- Corn Starch
- Jalapeno
Why marinate the beef in cooking wine with cornstarch?
- This will give the beef more flavor as the cornstarch will keep the flavors within when frying.

- Shake off the excessive starch before frying.
- In a pan, heat up 1/4 cup oil at medium heat and add pieces of beef in to fry for 1 minute. Make sure to separate the pieces as they fry to avoid sticking. Remove from oil and prepare the sauce.

- In a pan, heat up the remaining of the oil, add in garlic and jalapeno. Sautee until it is fragrant . Add in the onion.
- Cook the onion until transparent, add in the beef and the mixed sauce.
