Mongolian Beef And Noodle Recipes

Steps:

• Place flank steak in freezer 30 minutes. Cut against the grain into 1/8-inch slices; place in medium bowl.
• In small bowl, beat soy sauce, brown sugar, gingerroot, sesame oil, garlic and pepper flakes until sugar is dissolved. Add 1/4 cup of the soy sauce mixture to beef; toss to coat. Reserve remaining soy sauce mixture. Cover and refrigerate beef 45 minutes.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the marinated beef, spreading it out into single layer; cook 1 minute on each side until browned. Transfer beef to plate. Add another 1 tablespoon oil to skillet; repeat cooking remaining half of beef. Transfer to plate.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add carrots; cook and stir about 2 minutes or until they begin to soften. Add 3 green onions cut into 1-inch slices; cook another minute.
• Add broth to reserved soy sauce mixture. Beat in cornstarch and water with whisk; add to hot skillet. Cook until sauce is boiling and thickened. Add beef and cooked rice noodles; toss to coat with sauce, and heat through. Transfer to serving plate; garnish with 3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions.

Steps:

• Spread the flank steak out flat, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer until partially frozen, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Remove beef from the freezer and slice across the grain into very thin slices.
• Whisk the chicken stock and cornstarch in a freezer-safe bowl until smooth; whisk in the hot chili oil, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sherry, sugar, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Place the beef into the sauce, stir to coat well. Cover and freeze until frozen, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the freezer and allow to defrost, about 30 minutes.
• Heat a wok over high heat until very hot, and pour in the peanut oil. Immediately add garlic, cook and stir in the hot oil until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Mix in the Swiss chard and green onions; cook and stir the vegetables until they turn bright green, about 3 minutes, and then remove from the wok.
• Pour the defrosted beef mixture into the hot wok; cook and stir until the meat browns and the sauce forms a glaze, 3 to 5 minutes. Return the cooked vegetables to the wok, sprinkle with salt and pepper, mix to combine well; serve hot.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine steak with salt, pepper, sesame oil and cornstarch. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet / saute pan on medium high heat until pan starts to get smoky. Add beef and allow to sear and cook until brown on all sides, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer onto a plate.
• Return pan to heat. Add pineapples and cook until slightly browned and softened, around 5 minutes, Toss in carrots and beef then give the sauce a good stir then pour into pan, coating the ingredients on all sides.
• *If cooking the zucchini noodles, add into pan and use tongs to toss and coat with sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until zucchini is just tender but still firm. Be careful not to overcook.
• Serve immediately and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
• Notes.
• *do not overcook for longer than 2 minutes or else noodles will get too soft and mushy. You can also serve the beef over raw zucchini noodles if desired.

Steps:

• Trim fat from partially frozen beef, and slice thinly across the grain into thin strips.
• Prepare a sauce in a small bowl of water, rice wine, hoisin sauce, bean sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil; stir well and set aside.
• Prepare Sai Fun: Heat several inches of oil in a wok or fryer.
• Pull bean thread noodles apart slightly and drop into hot oil and stand back a bit; almost immediately they should puff up enormously (so don't put in very many at a time).
• When they have done this, lift them from the oil and drain on paper toweling and begin stir-fry.
• Pour one tbsp of oil into wok heat to hot but not smoking; add garlic and stir-fry briefly; add green onion and stir-fry until onions are tender, remove from wok.
• Add more oil to wok if needed; add the beef to wok and stir-fry about 2-3 minutes, then stir in sauce and cook until thick and bubbly.
• Add onions back to wok and stir everything together.
• To serve, place some of the"Sai Fun" (crispy noodles) on the plate and cover with a portion of the stir-fry.
• Serve this immediately, as if it sits too long, the noodles start to get soggy.
• Serve with rice also, if desired.
