This Mongolian Beef recipe is so easy to make at home, and it tastes 10x better too! Our new house is located right behind a Chinese restaurant, which can be quite annoying at times. I can always get a whiff of what they’re cooking, and it always happens when I’m hungry! So instead of moping around, craving Chinese food every single day of the week, I decided to make one of my favorite Chinese dishes at home – Mongolian beef. The best part about it is that it’s super easy to make right at home in 30 minutes or less, and it tastes so much better than the restaurant-version, mainly because you get to control your salt and sugar content. Plus, the leftovers are perfect for lunch the next day!
