Preparing the Slurry
- In a bowl, add cornstarch, brown sugar, soy sauce and vinegar. This will create a slurry you will later use to make the sauce that thickens it.

- Cook the beef until it gets a good sear and crispy seared edges,

How do you make Mongolian sauce?
- In the same pan, add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook until they’re fragrant and slightly softened. Add also some sesame oil at this point.
- Then, add the slurry to the pan.
- Cook until the sauce thickens. Then pour the beef back into the pan. Let it cook for a minute or two with the sauce so the flavours penetrate.
- It is ready to serve!!
