Fried vs. sautéed Mongolian Beef 蒙古牛肉
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Which do you favor: the crispiness and crunch of fried beef slices or the tenderness and juiciness of succulent beef slices in Mongolian beef?
In this video, I will demonstrate how to make two variations of Mongolian beef using identical ingredients: one fried and the other sautéed. The different cooking techniques impart distinct flavors while utilizing the same sauces and ingredients. The fried version yields a caramelized richness, while the sautéed version offers a well-balanced profile.
Both renditions are equally delightful. Mongolian beef possesses a delightful combination of sweetness and savoriness, making it truly addictive.
As an added bonus in this video, I will demonstrate a technique for tenderizing beef using baking soda that ensures there's no lingering metallic aftertaste on the meat.
Serves 1-2
Ingredients:
To Tenderize Beef:
½ tsp baking
1 tbsp water
Beef Marinade:
8 oz beef (225g, sliced against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices)
1 teaspoon oil
2 teaspoon soy sauce
⅛ tsp white pepper
1 ½ tsp cornstarch
Sauce:
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons hot water (or hot low sodium chicken or beef stock)
2 tablespoons regular soy sauce
½ tbsp oyster sauce
Other Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon ginger (minced)
½ fresh red chili pepper or 5 dried red chili peppers (optional)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 1 tablespoon water to make a slurry)
3 scallions (cut into 3 -inch long slices on the diagonal)

Thank you so much. Both look delicious!!
So yummy, I like both version! Thank you ❤
I'm intrigued by the sauteed version, mainly b/c deep frying is a huge hassle just cooking for myself. I like spicy but may do a mild version w/ a little bell pepper. Thx
Very informative. Thank you
Thank you so much .
They both look amazing, and I’m sure they both taste delicious.
Thank you for sharing 🎉🎉.

wonderful!

Dear Lyn, thank you so much for your amazing Chinese cuisine recipes and sharing your tips to make it delicious! ❤ Of course for Heart and Cario Vascular and Brain health sauteing technique is much much better, as it uses minimum unhealthy oil, and minimum frying (also unhealthy for longevity and it should be only used for holidays and rare occasions).
Awesome job, Lynn! =)

Hello Hi Elias Family Cooking. I made both dishes to your exact standards. They were both absolutely delicious. I had a problem choosing a favorite but in the end I went with the crispy version because of the texture and sauce.

Love your videos, but what do you do with all that leftover oil?

I strain and save oil in a preserver amzn.to/3UAroGb. I reused oil 3 times before throwing it away.
Len! Once you tenderize the beef with baking soda and water. Can you leave it in the fridge over night?

After 30 minutes, rinse the beef and then you can refrigerate it. If you leave baking soda in the meat for too long, it can lead to over-tenderization, resulting in a slimy texture and an alkaline taste in the meat.
I mis-spelled your name. It's Lynn. Sorry!. Great job!
