Mongolian Ginger Beef


Prep time: 7 minutes
Cooking time: 7 minutes

INGREDIENTS - MEAT

  • 1 pound of sliced beef (your preferred cut)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch/cornflour
  • Oil, for deep frying

INGREDIENTS - SAUCE

  • 2 TBSP cooking oil
  • 2 TBSP finely chopped ginger
  • 1 TBSP finely chopped garlic
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 TSP hoisin sauce 
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 TSP cornstarch, diluted in 3 TSP water
  • 1 TSP red chili flakes (optional)
  • 3 spring onions chopped into 1 inch lengths
  • 1 spring onion for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Toss the beef strips in the cornstarch. Make sure the strips are coated evenly.
  2. In a deep fat fryer fry the beef strips for 1 minute on the highest setting. Evenly distribute the meat in one layer before putting it in the fryer so it doesn't stick together. We did it in 3 batches (only added 2 minutes to the cooking time).
  3. In a saute pan, heat oil at high heat. Quickly add in the ginger and garlic for 15 seconds then add the soy sauce, water, rice vinegar and hoisin sauce. Bring it to the boil.
  4. When boiling add in the brown sugar and cornstarch/water mix. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Now add in the beef strips and let cook for 2 minutes.
  6. Add the green onions and cook for an additional minute.
  7. Serve hot with rice and garnish with the final sliced spring onion.

White Parsley Sauce

Prep time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 8 minutes INGREDIENTS 25g butter 25g plain flour 650ml milk salt and white pepper 2 TBSP parsley leaves (finely chopped) INSTRUCTIONS Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour (roux) and cook for 1-2 minutes (the roux should be a wet-paste consistency). Take the pan off the heat and gradually stir in the milk small batches at a time, beating the mixture constantly to form a sauce. Once all of the milk is added return to the hob and bring to the boil. If you feel your sauce needs to be thickened, simply mix 1 TSP cornflour and 1 TSP water in a glass and stir, then pour this into your sauce as it simmers. Stir constantly. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes and season with salt and white pepper. Stir in the parsley and serve.
