There are several different ways to prepare Mongolian Beef Ribs. I decided to go with the Asian Style Flanked Rib because I often see them at Chinese Buffets. I also use the slow and low method to ensure I get some tender meat. The sauce I use as a marinade but I don’t separate it from the ribs when I bake them. I cook the ribs right in it. Then afterwards I add the sauce back into a pan to reduce and thicken further by adding corn starch. Once it caramelizes, I drizzle the glaze over the top of the rib meat and sprinkle freshly chopped scallions.
