Mongolian Moose Instructions
- Heat one tbsp vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for about one minute. Add the soy sauce, water, and brown sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10- or 12 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Slice moose steak against the grain into 1/4-inch slices and toss with cornstarch either in a mixing bowl or gallon ZipLoc bag. Allow the moose steak to sit for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 cup vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the moose in small batches and cook each batch for 2- to 3 minutes, flipping pieces halfway through. Remove the meat, being sure to drain the oil. Add to saucepan, stir to coat with sauce, and cook over medium heat for 1 minute. Add red-pepper flakes and stir in green onions.
