Preparation Steps
- Begin by slicing flank or sirloin steak into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine baking soda, cornstarch, kosher salt, vegetable oil, soy sauce, and mirin. Whisk until smooth, then add sliced beef and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry marinated beef in batches for 2-3 minutes until browned, then set aside.
- In the same pan, add minced garlic, grated ginger, green onion whites, and dried red chilies. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return the cooked beef to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Reduce heat and simmer Mongolian Beef for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve hot over rice, garnished with green onion tops.
