Mongolian Beef 🥩

Mongolian Beef

Ingredients:

- 1 onion, diced
- 4 spring onions, sliced thick
- 4 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 1 red chilli, finely sliced
- thumb-sized piece of ginger, finely grated
- 500g (17.6 oz) steak, thinly sliced (rib meat, sirloin, rump, or flank work well)
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 100g (3.5 oz) cornflour
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
- 500ml (16.9 fl oz) tallow or peanut oil for frying
- pinch of MSG
- 50ml (1.7 fl oz) water
- rice to serve

Method:

1. Marinate the beef in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons cornflour, and 1 tablespoon peanut oil. Mix and leave in the fridge for 1-3 hours to marinate.
2. Next, add the 500ml tallow or oil to a wok or pot and heat over high heat. When a chopstick bubbles when inserted in the oil, it's good to go.
3. Add the rest of the cornflour to the marinated beef and toss well before frying in the hot oil.
4. Fry for 3-4 minutes, then remove from the oil and set aside. Remove most of the oil from the wok, then place it back over high heat.
5. Add the onions, spring onions, garlic, chilli, and ginger. Toss well and cook for 3 minutes before adding the beef back to the wok.
6. Season with MSG and the remaining soy sauce, toss well, and then add the water. Cook for 3-4 more minutes and serve over steamed rice.
7. Enjoy!

As a Mongolian.
I can confirm. We did not invent the dish.
Shout out to the Taiwanese.

Chef Andy is without a doubt my favorite chef on YouTube.

The moment you put the MSG you became legit. Good job chef!!

I absolutely LOVED this new format, Andy. You're showing yourself to be not only an amazing chef, but an incredible educator on the subject.

I STRONGLY prefer this style over the 100 quick jumpcuts where we have no idea what's going on

[JoeV]

Please keep the videos like these where we can actually follow the recipe, thanks!

Oooof using beef tallow, that's gonna be sublime.

"It's not Mongolian, it's Taiwanese!"
Well...knowing what Genghis Khan was up to, they're probably his descendants 😂

[AnneMB]

Love that you’re using nutrient rich beef tallow. Much healthier and tastier.

[rosson]

He’s really earned that title of Uncle Andy

As a Mongol, I would eat this Taiwanese dish any day😋

[jkuang]

I respect the cooks who openly saying they use MSG. It is a level of confidence and professionalism.

[nelsonmiaarenas]

Thank you Chef Andy for now mentioning your ingredients and even putting the text on screen. Your amazing

[DavidKissMosquito]

As a Taiwanese, I can tell you that I’ve never eat this in my life.

[dreytonstrickland]

This guy seems super genuine in all of his videos. It's so refreshing.😊

As a Taiwanese I would like to point out that we technically didn't 'invented' mongolian beef. What we invented is a way of dining which we called Mongolian Barbecue, and all kinds of meat are provided i.e. beef, pork, lamb...etc. It is usually served in a form of buffet, where the raw ingredients are all layed out for you to grab including the raw meat and sauces what not. Then you take your plate to the chef, and they will cook it on a huge griddle(teppanyaki/benihana style). Taste wise, unless they provided some kind of special sauce in the store, it actually just taste like a normal stir fry, nothing to special about it.

I love the comments Andy makes while cooking calling out the ingredients. Great “commentary”.

[KetsuguVOD]

Mongolian or Taiwanese this dish look so yummy! 😋

[jacky]

As a Taiwanese, if I remember the story right, the “Mongolian beef” was invented by a veteran living in Taiwan, it was so delicious ngl, and the video was pretty much accurate also.

Great work out there monsieur, looking forward to see more cooking guides.

Hot tip: when marinating, add bicarb soda to the marinade. It’s how you get it as tender as the restaurants!
