Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) flank steak
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 cups plus 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
- 5 ounces cooked rice noodles
- 1 tablespoon ground garlic
- 3/4 cup (3/4-inch long) scallion slices, green and white parts
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 teaspoons soy sauce
Directions
Trim the fat of the flank steak and cut into thin pieces against the grain. Marinate the meat for 1 hour in a mix of egg, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons oil.
In large wok, cook the rice noodles in 2 inches of hot oil for just a few seconds, or until they puff up. Drain the noodles and set to the side. Heat up the wok again with 3 cups of oil to 350 degrees F and add the cut up flank steak. Stir for 3 to 4 minutes, and then remove from the heat and drain well.
Heat the wok up again and add 2 teaspoons oil, ground garlic, all the cut up scallions, and the marinated beef. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Now add the sugar, black pepper, and soy sauce and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve over the rice noodles.

Great meal!! My honey keeps asking me to make it again. I'm buying my own wok just so I can make it..And it is pretty easy too!

I agree with with jaimn, the Mongolian beef is one of the best I have had! I wish they would have given the recipe the walnut shrimp! That is such a good dish as well. I now live in Oregon, but at least I still have some family there, so I know I will occasionally be able to visit the Pagoda!

This Mongolian Beef is the best that I've ever had!! I am so happy to see the recipe here. I've tried other places since then, and there's just nothing like Benny's. I saved the show on my DVR so that I can watch it while I try to recreate the dish.
I constantly wish that I was still in Alaska to get a plate (minus the snow!!. I also love the ambiance of the Pagoda - you walk in, and they greet you like life-long friends.
Thanks Guy, for the memories!!
