Mongolian Beef Recipe
What is Mongolian Beef? It is one of the best Chinese recipes ever; it’s also a popular Chinese beef dish at Chinese restaurants or takeouts. The popularity is second to broccoli beef. Other crowd favorites are ginger and scallion beef, Szechuan beef, and sesame beef. Mongolian beef is delicious, with silky and tender beef in a rich and savory Chinese brown sauce. My Mongolian beef recipe is very close to the taste of PF Chang’s Mongolian beef. It’s savory, slightly sweet, with melt-in-your-mouth beef. It’s also healthier, less greasy, with a Mongolian beef sauce that is so yummy with steamed white or brown rice.
Ingredients
Beef tenderloin Garlic Ginger Scallion Corn starch Shaoxing wine Sesame oil

How To Make This Recipe
Cooking Tips For Home Cooks
To make the best and authentic Mongolian beef, please follow the cooking tips and techniques below:
Make sure you cut the beef against the grain. Marinate the beef with cornstarch to tenderize the meat. The step above is called velveting in Chinese food. It makes the beef tender, juicy, moist and silky. Stir fry the beef on high heat using a wok (preferred) or skillet. The brown sauce shouldn’t be too sticky and gooey.
