CRISPY STICKY MONGOLIAN BEEF
Recipe VIDEO above. This Mongolian Beef is super crispy and coated in a sticky salty / sweet sauce - but not TOO sweet! It's absolutely divine and everyone I've made this for has raved about it. Don't be daunted by the ingredients list - there are a number of repeat ingredients! I just like to separate them into groups for ease of following the recipe.

Steps:
- Combine the Beef and Marinade ingredients in a bowl and marinate for 10 minutes (though you could even leave it overnight).
- Mix the cornstarch with a splash of the water. Then add the remaining Sauce ingredients, including remaining water.
- Add 1/4 cup cornstarch and use your fingers to lightly coat the beef.
- Heat 1/4 cup oil in a wok (Note 2) over medium high heat. Add 1/2 the beef and cook the first side for around 45 seconds or until golden and crisp. Then flip (I use an egg flip) and cook the other side for 30 - 45 seconds until golden and crisp. Remove onto a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining beef.
- Discard the oil, leaving behind about 1 tablespoon in the wok.
- Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for about 15 seconds. Don't let it burn!
- Add the Sauce into the wok. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for about 1 1/2 minutes or until it thickens into a glossy sticky sauce.
- Add the beef and scallions, toss to coat and cook for a further 30 seconds.
- Serve immediately with rice - or for a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice!

Steps:
- 1. Slice steak diagonally across grain into 1/8 inch thick strips. Place in a large heavy-duty. zip lock plastic bag. Set aside.
- 2. Combine hoisin sauce and remaining 8 ingredients; stir well. Pour marinade over steak; seal bag securely. Marinate in refrigerator 8 hours, turning occasionally. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent them from burning.
- 3. Thread steak onto 32 (6-inch) wooden skewers, discarding marinade. Broil 3 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 2-3 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness. You can dress these skewers up by adding toasted sesame seeds and presenting them with roasted chopped scallions. If preferred, serve with a sauce of your choice.
