Mongolian Beef (PF Chang's copycat)

Homemade Mongolian Beef is so easy to make! Tender pieces of beef coated in a sweet and salty sauce. It's like beef candy!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1-2 teaspoons minced ginger
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
• 1 bunch green onions, cut on diagonal into 2-inch pieces

Instructions

1. Make the sauce. Heat 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
2. Add soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer until thickened some, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Slice flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch slices with the knife held at a 45 degree angle. Some of the really long pieces I cut in half to make them more bite-sized.
