Ingredients:

3 tbsp olive oil
40g
4 tbsp ginger root
24g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup soy sauce
130g
1/2 cup water
120g
1/2 cup honey
170g
1 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.32g
16 oz flank steak
450g
1/4 cup cornstarch
33g
2 onions
50g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Carefully slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips.
- In a small bowl, combine the finely minced ginger and garlic.
2. Coat the Steak:
- Place the sliced steak in a large bowl.
- Add the cornstarch and toss the steak slices until they are well coated. Shake off any excess cornstarch. Set aside.
3. Make the Sauce:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, water, honey, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
4. Cook the Beef:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the coated steak slices to the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until the beef is browned and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Repeat until all the beef is cooked, adding more olive oil if necessary.
5. Cook the Aromatics:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the minced ginger and garlic, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Cook the Onions:
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet with the ginger and garlic. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are tender and translucent.
7. Combine and Simmer:
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and onions.
- Reduce the heat to medium and stir to ensure the beef is well coated with the sauce. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
8. Serve:
- Transfer the Honey-Ginger Mongolian Beef to a serving platter.
- Optionally, garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.
- Serve hot with steamed rice or your favorite side.

Tips:

- Ensure the flank steak is sliced thinly against the grain for the best texture and tenderness.

- Marinating the beef in soy sauce helps to enhance the flavor, so consider marinating for at least 30 minutes if you have time.

- For extra heat, you can add more red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha sauce.

- Pre-measure all ingredients and have them ready before starting to cook, as the cooking process is quick.

- After coating the beef with cornstarch, shake off any excess to prevent clumping and ensure an even coating.

- Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for an added touch of flavor and presentation.

Congratulations! You've just cooked a flavorful batch of Honey-Ginger Mongolian Beef. The fusion of savory and sweet flavors, combined with the tender beef, makes for a truly unforgettable meal. Serve this dish with steamed rice or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy your culinary creation!
