Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb (454 g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cornstarch
Aromatics:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh ginger, grated
Instructions
- Infuse flank steak with a robust marinade of soy sauce, cornstarch, aromatic garlic, and zesty ginger. Allow the meat to absorb these flavors for 15-20 minutes, creating a deeply seasoned foundation.
- Craft a dynamic sauce by whisking together soy sauce, hoisin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, developing a complex flavor profile that will elevate the entire dish.
- Prepare ramen noodles according to package directions, then gently coat with a hint of oil to prevent clumping, ensuring they remain separate and ready for the final presentation.
- Sear the marinated beef in a scorching hot skillet, creating a caramelized exterior while maintaining a tender interior. Work in a single layer to achieve optimal browning, then transfer to a holding plate.
- In the same skillet, quickly sauté bell peppers and onions until they reach a vibrant, crisp-tender state, preserving their natural crunch and brilliant colors.
- Reunite the beef with the sautéed vegetables, then cascade the prepared sauce over the mixture. Allow the ingredients to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken, creating a glossy, cohesive coating.
- Plate the dish by spreading ramen noodles as a base, then generously top with the Mongolian beef mixture. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and a delicate shower of sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Beef Selection: Choose flank steak with visible marbling for tender, juicy meat that absorbs marinade perfectly and creates mouthwatering texture.
- Marinating Magic: Allow full 20 minutes marinating time to help beef absorb flavors deeply and tenderize meat proteins for maximum flavor and softness.
- Heat Control: Use high heat while stir-frying to achieve beautiful caramelization and prevent meat from becoming tough or rubbery during cooking process.
- Quick Vegetable Technique: Maintain crisp vegetable texture by stir-frying briefly, keeping bell peppers and onions vibrant and retaining nutritional value.
