Mongolian Beef

• 1 pound lean ground beef

• 1 small bunch scallions (green parts only), diced

Sauce (double/triple for more flavor)

• 1/3 cup (packed) brown sugar

• 1/3 cup water

• 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

• 3 cloves garlic minced

• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional

• Add the beef to a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until browned, breaking it up with your spoon as it cooks (about 8-10 minutes). Spoon out excess fat as needed.

• Meanwhile, add the sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk together.

• Once beef is finished cooking, add the scallions to the skillet and also pour the sauce in. 

• Cook for another couple of minutes until the sauce thickens up.

• If needed, season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve over rice or noodles.
