by

A Mongolian Beef And Broccoli meal as a take-away is all very well… But even better if you do it yourself, and this Mongolian-style beef dish is delicious served on fragrant rice.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs flank steak, sliced into thin strips

The marinade for the beef:

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp water

  2. In a large wok or saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add broccoli and saute 5 – 10 minutes, stirring often and then transfer the broccoli to a plate.
