Beijing Beef
This is an Americanized Chinese dish that is a popular take-out choice. The beef cooks up nice and tender thanks to a velveting step that uses cornstarch and baking soda. The sauce is sweet, tangy, and spicy (but you can reduce the spice level to your liking).

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Gather your ingredients.
- 2
I used beef that was pre-sliced.
If you need to slice it yourself, freeze the beef for 30-60 minutes prior to cutting. This helps make thin, precise slices.
Slice steak into 1/4″ strips, against the grain. Cutting against the grain is important in order to shorten the muscle fibers. This results in more tender beef. You can also use top sirloin, top round, or tri-tip steak.
- 3
Add all of the marinade ingredients to the beef. Use your hands to gently but thoroughly massage the marinade onto the beef slices so that they are all coated evenly. Set aside to rest at room temperature for 20 to 35 minutes. (You may place it in the fridge if you prefer).
- 4
Dice the bell pepper and onion.
Note: if you prefer larger pieces of vegetables, slice them into large chunks.
- 5
Peel the fresh ginger with a spoon, then grate it to obtain one teaspoon.
Mince the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- 6
Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
- 7
Prepare a place to drain the fried beef. I used a colander lined with paper towels.
- 8
Heat the oil in a wok or thick-bottomed pot to about 350°F. Make sure the beef is not cold!
Fry the beef in batches until thoroughly cooked. This will take 2 to 3 minutes per batch). Transfer the fried beef to the colander to drain.
- 9
Continue the frying process until all of the beef slices are cooked. If you like, cut the beef into bite-sized pieces with kitchen shears.
- 10
Discard the oil and wipe the wok clean (or use a fresh pan). Heat a few teaspoons of oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and fry for a few minutes until they are softened.
If you prefer crunchy vegetables, fry them for only about one minute.
Add the garlic and ginger and mix well, and fry for about 1 minute longer.
- 11
Add the sauce and beef to the pan, mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated and fry until heated through.
- 12
Serve as is, or over rice. 🍚

This is my take on the classic Mongolian beef. Like most Asian dishes you can substitute or add different vegetables.

If you have Szechuan pepper corns, use them instead of the black pepper corns, I can't ever find them and don't use them enough to warrant a large quantity purchase, but black pepper corns seems to work pretty good as a substitute. This is not too difficult, and a good way to use up that beef sitting in the fridge. It had good flavor, didn't take a lot of time. Prep before cooking, trust me on this. When you start the stir-fry process, you have to keep stirring, no time for prep. Read through the directions first, cooking time is short and busy. Above all, have fun doing it.

A spicy dish that will clear your sinuses and warm your soul. I really like this dish with pork, but it’ll work with the beef. I used shaved steak, but any beef is fine if it’s sliced thin.

My husband loves Mongolian beef. I found a recipe a couple years ago that was a knock off of PF Changs Mongolian beef. I didn't care for that recipe so I tweaked it and made it my own and came up with this. Needless to say, he said it was the best Mongolian beef he has ever had, no joke. Must say so myself it was the best I ever had too.

This Mongolian Beef is tender, flavorful, and coated in a rich, savory-sweet sauce. The beef is stir-fried until perfectly caramelized, then tossed with a delicious garlic and soy-based glaze. It’s a quick and satisfying dish, perfect with steamed rice! Enjoy!
