Ingredients

• 1 Lb of beef stew meat
• 2 Tbsp of sesame oil
• 1 Tsp of minced ginger
• 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2-3 scallions, chopped
• 2 red Thai chili peppers (optional)
• 3 Tbsp of cornstarch
• 2 Tbsp of Veggie Ramen Sauce
• 1/2 cup of water
• Sticky basmati rice (for serving)

Instructions

1. Cook the Beef Stew: Place the beef stew meat in an instant pot with 4-5 cups of water. Cook on high pressure for about 35 minutes, or until the beef is tender but not fully cooked. Drain the water, reserving both the broth and the beef, and set them aside.
2. Prepare the Sauce: Heat sesame oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the minced ginger, garlic, and optional red Thai chili peppers. Sauté until fragrant, then add the chopped scallions.
3. Cook the Beef: Add the partially cooked beef stew to the wok. Stir and cook for about 3 minutes, allowing the beef to absorb the flavors. Then, add the Veggie Ramen Sauce and stir to coat the beef.
4. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/2 cup of water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the wok, stirring constantly to thicken the sauce. Continue cooking for a few more minutes until the sauce is rich and glossy.
5. Serve: Serve the Mongolian beef hot over a bed of sticky basmati rice. Enjoy this flavorful dish with family or friends!
