Rinse the rice, cook it as plain pilaf, and keep it hot for serving.
Cut the beef sirloin into thin strips and lightly coat them with cornstarch.
Grate the garlic and ginger, then mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and sesame oil.
Sear the beef in a hot pan in two batches for a total of 6 minutes.
In the same pan, turn the garlic and ginger for 1 minute.
Add the sauce, return the beef to the pan, and cook for 5 minutes until the glossy sauce clings to the meat.
Cut the scallions into large pieces, fold them into the dish, and serve with rice pilaf.
💡 Tip: Do not leave the beef sitting after coating it with starch; if it rests too long, the surface turns sticky and will not crisp in the pan.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Mongolian beef as a quick dinner with plain rice pilaf and optional cucumber pickles.
