Mongolian Beef

This is what I always order at Chinese restaurants (that or beef and broccoli) so I was so excited to find this recipe that makes this dish taste better than what you get from delivery!

1 Tbsp. cornstarch
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp. Hoison sauce
2 tsp. sesame oil
1 pound boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
1 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
5 green onions, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 cups hot cooked rice

In small bowl, combine cornstarch and broth until smooth. Stir in the soy sauce, hoison sauce and sesame oil; set aside. In large skillet or wok, stir-fry beef in 1 1/2 tsp. hot olive oil until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.

In same skillet, stir-fry the onions in remaining olive oil for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Stirl cornstarch mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; add beef and heat through. Serve over rice.
