This Mongolian beef recipe with green onions has a soy-based sauce for a Chinese-style beef dish. Best served over soft rice noodles or rice.


Here’s a classic and crowd-pleasing recipe for Mongolian Beef with Spring Onions—inspired by Chinese restaurant favorites:


🥩 Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 1 lb (≈450 g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain (~¼″ / 6 mm thick)

  • ¼ cup (30 g) cornstarch, plus 2 tsp in separate slurry

  • ⅔ cup dark brown sugar

  • ½ cup soy sauce

  • ½ cup water, plus 2 tsp water for slurry

  • Vegetable oil: ~2 tsp for sauce, plus ~⅔ cup (150 ml) for frying

  • Fresh aromatics:

    • 1 tbsp minced garlic

    • ½ tsp grated ginger

  • 2 bunches spring onions, cut into 2" pieces; white and green parts separated


🥘 Instructions

  1. Prep the beef

  2. Make the sauce

    • Heat 2 tsp oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic & ginger ~30 sec until fragrant.

    • Add brown sugar, soy sauce, and ½ cup water. Simmer ~4 min until slightly thickened. Remove from heat (My Forking Life).

  3. Fry the beef

    • Heat ~⅔ cup oil to ~375 °F in a deep skillet. Working in batches, fry beef ~1–2 min per side until crispy. Drain on paper towels (My Forking Life).

  4. Combine & finish

    • Discard excess oil, leaving about 1 tbsp in skillet. Return beef to pan. Pour in sauce, add white parts of scallions, cook ~1–2 min.

    • Stir in cornstarch slurry to thicken further, then add green parts of onions. Toss to coat and remove from heat (The Woks of Life).

  5. Serve

    • Plate hot over steamed rice or rice noodles. Enjoy immediately.


🔧 Tips & Variations

  • ❄️ Freeze flank steak ~30 min before slicing—makes it easier to cut thin against the grain for tender bites (My Forking Life).

  • 🍜 Add broccoli or bell peppers during sauce stage for added color and nutrients (Allrecipes, My Forking Life).

  • 🌶️ Spice it up with dried chiles or crushed red pepper (The Woks of Life).

  • 🍜 Use low-sodium soy sauce to control sodium, or substitute hoisin for deeper flavor (My Forking Life).


🗣‍ reddit Tip

Reddit users confirm the essence of Mongolian beef:

“Mongolian beef is essentially stir‑fried tender and glossy beef with scallions and onions… super tender and covered with sticky sauce.” (Reddit)
