Mongolian Beef

Features:
    Cuisine:

    There were a couple of things that were wrong with the finished recipe: 1) It seemed too salty. Perhaps the addition of the salt and the amount of soy sauce should be reconsidered. Maybe half or one quarter the amount of salt added. 2) Not enough kick. Did you mean red (cayenne) pepper instead of regular (black) pepper? I added both (about 1/8-1/4 tsp of cayenne) and it worked out fine. 3) Too much oil, if you're using a non-stick skillet, like I was. I figured it would be too much, so cut most of it out during the frying of the beef, and used about half of the amount for the second part. 4) The heat needs to be turned down after you've sauteed the beef. I realized this a little too late and burned the oil. I poured that oil out and added new oil but it was still too hot, even after turning it down, and really messed up the garlic. I would say turn down to a medium heat after you've browned the beef.

    If I had done all of those changes, I'm sure the recipe would have been fantastic! :)

    Mongolian Beef, This is one of my boyfriend’s favorite dishes. I got the recipe from his mom and really like it because it’s so easy to make. I try not to make it too often though because it’s not exactly a healthy dish. The prep time includes 20 minutes for marinating the meat., There were a couple of things that were wrong with the finished recipe: 1) It seemed too salty. Perhaps the addition of the salt and the amount of soy sauce should be reconsidered. Maybe half or one quarter the amount of salt added. 2) Not enough kick. Did you mean red (cayenne) pepper instead of regular (black) pepper? I added both (about 1/8-1/4 tsp of cayenne) and it worked out fine. 3) Too much oil, if you’re using a non-stick skillet, like I was.
