Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
- Add the sliced flank steak to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes (up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor).
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced red bell pepper and chopped green onions to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
- On each tortilla, place a generous scoop of the Mongolian beef mixture, then roll it up tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Serve the wraps warm with optional toppings like sesame seeds or additional green onions, if desired.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of sriracha to the beef mixture.
- Feel free to customize the veggies; shredded carrots or snap peas would also work wonderfully.
