The BEST Mongolian Beef Recipe

We love re-creating our favorite takeout recipes like Chow Mein and Fried Rice. This Chinese restaurant inspired Mongolian Beef is so EASY to make and tastes just as amazing as P.F. Chang's. Thinly sliced beef seared until crispy with carrots, bell pepper, and green onion in a sweet and spicy sauce that adds so much flavor to the beef.

How to Make Mongolian Beef-

This recipe comes together quickly and is best when served fresh. This recipe cooks fast so make sure all of the ingredients are measured and prepped before starting the recipe.

1. CUT MEAT – Slice the beef into thin slices across the grain. TIP: Freeze the meat for 30 minutes so it's easier to achieve even, thin slices.
2. VEGETABLES – Julienne the carrot and pepper, slice the green onions.

1. COAT MEAT – Add cornstarch to the beef slices and completely coat (the cornstarch adds a crispiness to the meat as it's cooked and at the same acts as a tenderizer for the meat).
2. SAUCE – In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
3. SAUTE VEGGIES – Saute vegetables to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
4. COOK MEAT – Cook the beef until it's crispy and has a good sear (don't overcook the meat). TIP: Don't overcrowd the pan, if needed, cook in batches. Add the vegetables back to the beef.
5. SAUCE – Pour in the sauce and add the green onion, turn the heat down to medium. Cook until sauce thickens. TIP: Add additional Sriracha for more heat in the sauce.
