Easy Mongolian Beef with Mushrooms

I have finally decided to make this again and I am so glad I did. It's held up well and I am still in love with this super easy Mongolian Beef with Mushrooms recipe!

Yes.  I am STILL on an Asian food kick.  I had such fulfillment with the Garlic Ginger Chicken I made the other day that I am still craving more.  This time I wanted Mongolian Beef.  I found a copy cat for PF Chang's Mongolian Beef on Damn Delicious and had to try it.  I did make some changes but I did follow their recipe in spirit.  

• INGREDIENTS:
• 1 pound steak (I bought some pre-sliced stir fry steak.  Yeah...I'm a bit lazy)
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced (I like a lot.  I used six plus I sliced them larger and at an angle. Reserve a handful)
• Sliced Mushrooms
• SAUCE:
• 1/2 cup soy sauce (I used Tamari)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 
• 2 tbsp. of Palm Sugar (I get mine from Season With Spice)
• 1 tbsp. Garlic Ginger Paste (buy it at the store near the jarred garlic)
• 2 tsp. vegetable oil
• 1 tsp. of Sesame Oil
• 1/2 cup of water (or you can use beef broth)
• Garnish:
• Toasted sesame seeds
• Reserved handful of green onions
• 
  

INSTRUCTIONS:

• In a large bowl, combine steak and cornstarch and coat the steak with the cornstarch.
• In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, palm sugar, garlic ginger paste, vegetable oil,  sesame oil and  water.  Heat until just slightly thickened.
• Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large wok. Add beef and mushrooms and fry until browned and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes. 
• Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.  
• Get rid of the excess oil.
• Add beef and soy sauce mixture to the saucepan over medium heat and cook until sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in green onions.
• Serve over rice, noodles, whatever you like and garnish with sesame seeds and reserved green onions.
• Like heat? Add some sriracha, sambal oelek or even Korean Chili Flakes and you will have a happy mouth.

I hope you enjoy!
