Easy-And Tender Mongolian Beef Marinated With Homemade Yakiniku Sauce
This Mongolian beef recipe is super easy, full of flavor, and incomparable to take out! Sliced flank beef will be so tender that you’ve never experienced, please, please try this recipe and my homemade Yakiniku (Japanese bbq) sauce! Let’s start to make Yakiniku sauce first the day before cooking!
Equipment
- 1 non-stick frying pan/ wok
- 1 meat mallet
Ingredients
- 2 lb flank steak
- ⅓ homemade YAKINIKU sauce
- ¼ cup potato/corn starch
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 chili pepper *optional
- ½ sliced onion
- ¼ cup green onion
- ¼ cup sliced mushroom
- Your choice of vegetables to add more
- chopped coriander to garnish
Instructions
- Make homemade Japanese BBQ sauce (YAKINIKU sauce) the day before.*The full recipe on my website is here
Prepare beef
- Pound a flank steak with a meat mallet preferably. Halve lengthwise (if needed), then slice 1/2 inch thick across the grain.
- In a large bowl or a freezer bag, marinate the beef for 8 hours to overnight.
Cook the beef
- Prepare vegetables.
- Drain the excess sauce if needed. (Usually, the beef sucks up the sauce.)
- Coat evenly each beef slice with potato/corn starch.
- In a non-stick frying pan or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook onion half though, and add other vegetables. You don't need to cook fully vegetables at this point. Take them out from the pan, and set them aside.
- Heat another a tablespoon of sesame oil, and add in coated marinated steak.
- Cook steak for about 5 minutes, or until nicely browned.
- Add cooked vegetables back to the pan. Combine them well.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy!

You can also marinate the flank steak with Asian sesame dressing.
If you have leftover this dressing, use it to marinate any meat.
Mongolian beef on rice is absolutely perfect combination, however, this Asian-style salad bowl is also sooo good and worth trying!
