Add the ginger and garlic to the wok and stir-fry over high heat until golden, about 1 minute. Add the sirloin and scallions and stir-fry over high heat until the scallions just start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture and stir-fry over high heat until the sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the Mongolian beef over steamed rice, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve. Looking for more dinner options? Check out our pork chop recipes, chicken recipes, and potato recipes.
