PF Chang Mongolian Beef

My husband left to work at a hop harvest, and for our goodbye dinner we went to PF Chang's for their gluten free menu. Talk about delicious food. Usually when I try to eat out, I always finish thinking "I could have made this better at home." But not then! The service was great, the food was wonderful. I deffinately plan on going back. In the mean time though, I found a good gluten free recipe for it! I tried it out tonight, and it was wonderful. Room mate approved as well.

I also tried the La Choy soy sauce, which is gluten free as well. It was ok as an emergency store pick up, but I plan to keep using Bragg's Liquid Aminos as soon as I get into town to buy some more.

Anyways, the recipe!

Mongolian Beef

Sauce
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup GF soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Minced Ginger
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar

Beef
1 cup vegetable oil
1 pound flank steak
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 green onion stems

Cut your beef into 1/4th inch strips, bite sized. Give them a thin coating of cornstarch and let them set for a couple of minutes to absorb. Afterwards heat your oil in a skillet and cook for a few minutes, not all the way through. Remove from pan to a plate with a paper towel to drain oil. Dump remaining oil our of your skillet.

Mix your sauce ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil, let boil for a few min.

Add your beef to your skillet once more on medium high, cook for a minute and add sauce. Let simmer till your beef is cooked through. Should take less than 10 minutes. Once done coat the green onion stems in the sauce and serve over rice. Enjoy!
