This spicy Mongolian beef is marinated with soy, hoisin, sesame, sugar, garlic, and chili, then quickly stir-fried with green onions for a tasty dish.

Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 pound beef flank steak, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 large green onions, thinly sliced

1 Whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Toss beef with marinade; cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour to overnight.
2 Heat peanut oil in a wok or large, nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook and stir green onions in hot oil for 5 to 10 seconds. Remove beef from marinade and add to green onions in the wok; discard marinade. Cook and stir until beef is no longer pink and begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
