Mongolian Beef Recipe

Ingredients:

1-2 lbs of tender beef cut into small strips

1 Green pepper cut into strips

Sweet onion chopped in big chunks

Chopped green onion or scallions

Minced garlic about 2-3 tsp

Ginger paste to taste 2-3 tsp

Sweet soy sauce to taste a few Tbsp.

Soy sauce to taste (a couple of tsp)

Flour ¼ cup

Asian spice or Chinese 5 spice 2 tsp

Sesame oil 1-2 Tbsp

Cooking oil (I used peanut oil) enough to coat the bottom of the pan

Put about ¼ cup of flour and a couple tsp of Asian spice or Chinese 5 spice in a gallon size plastic zippered bag. Add the pre-cut meat into the bag and shake to coat.

Coat the bottom of your pan with oil, add a couple of Tbsp of sesame oil for flavor. Sauté’ the sweet onions and peppers and a little bit of the green onions. Once slightly soft, set the veggies aside but keep as much oil in the pan as possible.

Using the remaining oil from the peppers and onions, (and adding more oil if necessary), sauté 2-3 tsp of minced garlic (or feel free to use a fresh clove or two depending on desired taste). Add the meat and fry until brown. Turn off heat. Add ginger paste, soy sauce, and sweet soy sauce until well coated (the sweet soy sauce is the key to this flavoring).  Add the peppers and onions back into the mix and top with more green onions. Suggestion: serve with rice.
