PF Chang’s Mongolian Beef Copycat Recipe

This copycat recipe is so easy to make in 30 min or less (start to finish) and tastes 100x better!

Ingredients
  • 1 pound flank steak
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Directions
  1. Wrap steak in plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Unwrap and slice across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flank steak and cornstarch.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet. Working in batches, add beef and fry until browned and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; discard excess oil.
  4. Add beef and soy sauce mixture to the skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in green onions.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds, if desired.
  6. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and vegetable oil. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5-10 minutes.
