Ingredients You'll Need

For the Beef:

300g sirloin steak (or other tender cut)

½ tsp baking soda

1 tbsp corn flour

1 tbsp soy sauce

For the Stir-Fry Sauce:

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp Shaoxing cooking wine

¼ cup chicken stock

Other Ingredients:

200g pre-cooked noodles (egg noodles or rice noodles work well)

1 small onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp fresh ginger, minced

2 tbsp cooking oil

2 spring onions, sliced (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef

Start by slicing the sirloin steak thinly against the grain. This ensures the beef stays tender when cooked. In a bowl, mix the beef with baking soda, corn flour, and soy sauce. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes. This step helps break down the meat fibers, creating a silky texture.

2. Make the Stir-Fry Sauce

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, Shaoxing wine, and chicken stock. Stir well and set aside.

3. Sauté the Onions

Heat a wok or a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, then toss in the sliced onions. Sauté until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

4. Sear the Beef

Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Spread the marinated beef in a single layer and let it sear for about 1-2 minutes without stirring. This helps develop a rich, caramelized crust. Once browned, flip and cook for another minute.

5. Add Garlic & Ginger

Lower the heat slightly and stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

6. Combine Everything

Return the sautéed onions to the pan and pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce. Stir well to coat the beef. Then, add the pre-cooked noodles, tossing everything together until the noodles absorb the sauce and the flavors meld beautifully.

7. Finish & Serve

Garnish with freshly sliced spring onions and give it one last toss. Your Mongolian beef noodles are now ready to serve!
