How to Make PF Changs Mongolian Beef:

Make the sauce:

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add minced ginger and garlic, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10–15 minutes until slightly thickened.

Prepare the beef:

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain at a 45° angle. Toss the slices with cornstarch and let them rest for 10–15 minutes so the coating sets.

Fry the beef:

Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef in batches and fry for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Combine with sauce:

Discard the frying oil, then return the beef to the pan. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir over medium heat for about a minute to coat the meat evenly.

Finish and serve:

Add red pepper flakes and green onions, toss well, and remove from heat. Serve hot over steamed rice for a sweet-savory Mongolian-style meal that’s perfectly crispy and flavorful.
