This recipe for Mongolian Beef has become a family favorite.  It’s better than take out and you will be surprised how easy Mongolian beef is to make at home!

Mongolian Beef over rice with diced green onions

We love Chinese take out.  And one of my favorite take out dishes is Mongolian Beef.  I bet you didn’t know how easy it s to recreate at home.  No need to head out to your favorite Chinese restaurant!

When I am planning out my weekly meal plans, this in one of those recipes I can always count on.  Mongolian beef only takes about 30 minutes to make And is a dish that everyone in my home loves.

Mongolian Beef with green onions and rice

The beef has a light cornstarch coating and is then lightly fried up in some oil which creates a nice crispy coating.

If you are wanting to cut calories, you could skip the frying part.  It won’t be just like the restaurant version.But it will still be yummy.

You can use flank steak or top round steak.  I like to slice my meat when it is still slightly frozen because it allows you to cut the meat nice and thin.
