Had some sirloin tips of venison out for dinner tonight,was gonna do a stir fry and found this recipe,a knock off on PF Changs Mongolian beef
It was quick,easy and so delicious!


Ingredients:
Vegetable oil
1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
2 tbsp. garlic, minced
1 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 cup water
1⅓ cup dark brown sugar
2 pounds flank steak, sliced
½ cup cornstarch
Green onions, sliced
Instructions:
1. In a small saucepot, over medium heat, add 2 tsp. of vegetable oil and sauté ginger and
garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce, water, and brown sugar and stir to
combine. Bring mixture to a boil and let boil for 3 minutes, then remove from heat and set
aside.
2. In a large bowl, toss sliced flank steak with cornstarch, shaking off the excess. Place in
fridge for 10 minutes to allow coating to stick better on the beef.
3. After 10 minutes, in a heavy bottom saucepan, over medium high heat, add ½ cup of
vegetable oil and add the beef to the pan, in batches, to sear the outside on all sides, but
barely cooked in the middle. Remove and let drain on paper towels as you finish up the rest
of the beef. Pour out any excess oil in the saucepan.
4. Place the saucepan back on the burner, but on medium heat, and pour in the sauce from
earlier. It should come to a boil immediately. Add in the steak and coat with the sauce.
Continue cooking beef and sauce at a boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. The sauce will
thicken gradually. Add in the scallions.
5. Serve hot over white or brown rice.
6. Place leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator

You can half the recipe if you only use 1 lb of meat

Ahhhh there was no leftovers!

going up top!!!!!

Thanks
Definitely going to try this! Does the sauce totally cover the taste of the venison? Or can you still tell it's venison and not beef?

It tastes like what it is. My venison is taken care of by me from the time it hits the dirt till it rests in my freeze. That's the key to good non gamey venison
I'll skin and quarter and let it age for a week in a dedicated climate controlled fridge I have specifically for that purpose
I think you're misinterpreting me. I LOVE the taste of venison. I'm wondering if making this recipe with my limited supply of venison would taste differently than if I prepared the same recipe with readily available beef.

You can still taste that it's venison just crispy on the outside

I have 3 shelves full of venison in my freeze, I don't think you would be sorry using venison instead of beef
Sounds good to me! I'll have to try it this weekend and report back.
No heat? Mongolian beef should have tiny little red chiles.

Sounds good Dan. When I get home I'll have to yank a pack of Tony's whitetail out and give it a go.

I love the heat,enjoy it whilst eating but it tears up my stomache something fierce later! The rest of my family can eat flames and drink lava with no ill effect

Thanks!

This sounds good -- I am encouraged by the low-sodium soy sauce in it because I find some soy sauce recipes far too salty. I can always add more salt later if I want!

I have a lot of moose to eat up, and I will try this recipe on some.

Well I had more venison defrosted since Deb is away I make venison more as she isn't a big fan.I made the Mongolian venison again as I had half of the liquid left from yesterday because I made the batch to large.
You know it's good if I'm eating it two days in a row!

Looks great, my only addition would be Nuk bom or oyster sauce

Looks good. Wonder how sweet it is. Seems a bit heavy on the sugar.

Made the mongolian beef tonight using elk and it was a real hit at the dinner table. No leftover unfortunately...

This will now be a regular menu item at our house.

Thanks for sharing the recipe!
