PF Chang’s Mongolian Beef Copycat Recipe
This copycat recipe is as good, if not better than the original!
Ingredients:
Sauce
2 t. vegetable oil
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 t. chopped ginger
1 T. chopped garlic
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
Mix all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and let the sauce thicken slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Beef
1 cup vegetable oil
1 lb. flank steak
2 green onions chopped
1/4 cup corn starch
Slice flank steak against grain into1/2 inch strips. Dredge the strips in cornstarch until coated. I put it all in a plastic bag and mix it around until the steak is well coated. Place in fridge for a few minutes to set while you prepare the saute pan. Heat up 1 cup of oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the beef to the oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until brown and cooked through. Remove beef and set aside. Pour out oil from skillet and return to heat. Add beef and sauce and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add the green onions and saute for one minute. Serve over cooked white rice and garnish with some chopped green onions. Delish!!!!!

I like PF Chang's Mongolian Beef so I'd love to try to make it at home! Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday!
I hope the 1 cup of oil is a typo. 🙂
you must have a lot of oil in the pan, otherwise the cornstarch that you coated the beef with will cause 2 problems: 1) it will stick to the pan and cause a big ugly mess. 2) if it is stuck to the pan it will not be available to thicken the sauce as intended. DUUHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Just made this dish this evening for dinner and it was amazing!! A little time consuming, but SSSOOO worth it 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
This was delicious. Will make again and again!
Ok, for the sauce, is that 2 tablespoons or 2 teaspoons of oil? 1 tablespoon or teaspoon of ginger? 1 tablespoon or teaspoon of garlic? I'm used to seeing the abbreviations TBSP for tablespoon and tsp for teaspoon. I want to assume if it's a under-case 't' that it's teaspoon and a capital 'T' is tablespoon, but I'm double-checking!
