Mongolian Beef Recipe • Easy, Inexpensive & Flavorful! | Club Foody

Let’s talk about beef. Each cut of meat has its own purpose. If you chose Beef Tenderloin or T-Bone Steak, they are very flavorful just like a Porterhouse, Rib-Eye or New York Strip Steak, and are tender as well. They are perfect for grilling.
 
On the other hand, there are other cuts of beef where the meat is tough and less flavorful and therefore best when simmering for hours with marinade. There are Chuck Eye aka Boneless Chuck Fillet including Flank Steak, Swiss Steak, Round Steak and so on.
 
What I’m trying to say is you wouldn’t take a beautiful Filet Mignon and braise it in a slow cooker. It would be a big “faux pas” and a waste of money! – or grill a few Swiss Steaks aka Arm Steaks on the barbecue. They would end up being pretty tough.
 
When it comes to Round Steaks and other similar “tougher” cuts, they are great for braising, using them in stews or marinating for a while. They are cheap cuts but that doesn’t mean there are no delicious recipes to use them in like this one… Mongolian Beef!
 
There are many different versions of this dish but I have to admit that mine is quite flavorful… It’s a great recipe and the mix of ingredients makes it quite tasty, it’s an awesome dish to serve to your guests.
 
The sauce for this Mongolian Beef is simple and yet incredibly succulent! It brings just the right amount of sweetness, saltiness and spiciness… exactly how Chinese sauces are supposed to be made. Although I don’t do the frying method often, I quickly fried the strips of meat in hot oil, just long enough so they are cooked without being tough.
 
There’s an ingredient that I enjoy cooking with and it’s Chili Oil. It brings so much flavor to many different dishes! I like to add a little bit along with canola oil just before sautéing the garlic and ginger. I highly suggest you to make your own as it’s such an easy recipe and a great condiment to have around.

If you feel like having Mongolian Beef but don’t want the MSG, this recipe is a healthier and better version than the ones from the restaurants! Give it a try and you’ll find out how easy and delicious this popular dish is by making it at home…
Bon Appétit!
