Mongolian beef with chili, peppers and jasmine rice

Mongolian beef, a staple in Chinese cuisine, has a rich history dating back centuries. Contrary to its name, it does not originate from Mongolia but is believed to have been created by Chinese immigrants. Traditionally, thin slices of beef are marinated in a mixture of soy sauce and other seasonings, then stir-fried with onions and sometimes scallions. The dish gained popularity in Chinese-American cuisine and has since become a beloved classic in Western countries as well.

Mis en place:

Chop garlic and ginger.
Cut bell pepper into strips.
Cut scallion and chili at an angle.
Cut beef into strips.
In a cup, mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water. 

The sauce:

In a bowl, mix sugar, soy sauce, and water (the same amount as soy sauce). 

The vegetables:

Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Sauté bell pepper and chili (spicy! add to taste or omit) until tender or to the desired point of doneness.
Set aside on a plate. 

The beef:

Spread beef strips on a plate and sprinkle remaining cornstarch over it. Toss them with your hands to coat them in cornstarch on all sides.
Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan over high heat.
Sauté the meat until it’s crispy on the surface, 1-3 minutes. Set aside on a plate.

The final touch:

In the same frying pan, sauté garlic and ginger for about 10-20 seconds. Add the sauce and let simmer for 2 min over medium heat. Then, add cornstarch and water mixture. Allow it to simmer (while stirring) briefly until it thickens.
Incorporate meat and vegetables and cook for another moment until it’s sticky with minimal liquid.
Serve with jasmine rice. Finish with a sprinkle of scallions.
