Comments
This recipe is from Tracey’s Culinary Adventures. I don’t think I’ve ever actually had Mongolian beef in a restaurant, but both Art and Lance have and they thought this dish was great. I also thought it was great, I just didn’t have anything to compare it to. I sautéed fresh broccoli in the skillet after the meat was done and that went very well with the beef, sauce, and rice.
I did feel that this was a bit on the salty side, which is a result of the soy sauce, so I’ll probably reduce the amount of soy to 1⁄2-3⁄4 cup next time. Very tasty regardless!
