Mongolian ground beef recipe is something you can fix fast and easy with only few ingredients you already have in your pantry, so no reason to not to try!
Are you ready for it?! Let’s get started!
Combine ground beef, garlic, shaoxing wine and black pepper in a mixing bowl and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, chicken stock (or water), sambal, chili garlic sauce and corn starch and set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat, add oil and beef mixture. Cook and break down beef until there’s no moisture and beef is crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Now, go ahead and give a final mix to the sauce mixture, because corn starch tempt to sink on the bottom. Pour the sauce around the wok, and mix well with beef until it’s thicken, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Toss in green onions and turn off the heat.
Garnish with sesame seeds, because it won’t be perfect without sesame seeds. 😉
I love enjoying Mongolian ground beef with fresh warm cooked rice!

This looks delicious! Do you think it would work with ground turkey? We have that in our home than ground beef.
Thanks,
Katherine
Yes! Any ground protein should work just fine!
Is there a substitute for shaoxing wine? Sake?
You can find shaoxing wine at your local Asian/Chinese grocery store. If you can’t find it, you can use dry sherry. But if you can’t eat/drink alcohol, then you can substitute to water. hope this helped!
This looks so simple and delicious!
Was super simple to make but the flavors were nothing but simple. Thanks for this easy recipe. This was a hit at my home!

Hi Seonkyoung! Made this for dinner the other night and it was absolutely delicious! I followed the measurements exactly and I think the corn starch measurement is incorrect, you used 1 tsp in the video. I followed the written recipe and used 2 tbsp and it was way too sticky 🙁 but it was delicious nonetheless!
Oh no! Im so sorry ): I went ahead and fixed it now. Thank you for pointing it out to me!
Excellent recipe!! Have made this a bunch of times now! We cut down the sugar a little bit, and red pepper flakes for some more heat. We toss in some chopped water chestnuts at the end and serve with rice as lettuce wraps.

That sounds absolutely delicious!
This was amazing! Tasted like mongolian beef but so much less work. No slicing beef and no risk overcooking beef. The extra spicy kick with sambal was amazing. I added 2 chopped serrano peppers as well.

I will be making this soon. I ordered the wine from Amazon. I would like to substitute flank steak. Will that work? Also, I am a sauce lover and plan on doubling the recipe. Am I headed for disaster?
Amazing & simple recipe. What brand of wok pan, wok turner & stove did use?
Love love this recipe!

This was delicious and so easy! I didn’t have shaoxing wine or even dry sherry in the house, so I substituted rice wine vinegar, and I thought the extra acidic bite of the vinegar balanced the sweetness of the sugar. Next time I’ll try it with the wine. But this was so good. Thank you for this recipe!
Is is possible to substitute the sugar with coconut aminos?
This recipe was delicious and easy to make! winner winner!!

This is delicious! Added cauliflower rice and edamame. Next time I will double the sauce. We ate it wrapped in lettuce leaves.
That sounds BOMB!!!
Thank you so much for your videos and recipes! You have inspired me to try and cook new things, this recipe was absolutely easy and amazing like the others I’ve tried! I substituted beef for ground chicken and Sambal with chilli bean paste. Your family is so lucky!

AW this made me so happy! (: Im glad what I do is inspiring and hope you find all my other content just as helpful and inspirational!
This is a great recipe. I purchased half a beef and have over 100# of ground beef to use up. I host foreign students and the Taiwanese guy really packed it away.
Amazing! So easy to make with little at home. So delicious as well, highly recommend.
