Since I was tenderizing the steak, I decided to make one of my family's favorites since I started this journey. This will be my second time, but it's so easy to make that there were no mistakes to learn from. And it doesn't take a lot of ingredients either, all of which you can typically get right at the grocery store.
This recipe is Jet Tila's yet again, from The Food Network website. I do so love his recipes. I'm planning a collection of his cookbooks. Anyway, you can find this one here: Mongolian Beef Recipe | Jet Tila | Food Network
What I love the most about this recipe is the simplicity. You can tenderize the beef, make the sauce and cut the veggies ahead of time and throw it all together in less than 10 minutes. I'll admit I got lazy on this one. I usually like to use fresh garlic, but I do often use the squeeze ginger. It's all the same to our inexperienced palates. You'll also need some soy sauce and a few other ingredients.
This particular recipe calls for bell peppers & onions, but I didn't have that this time around, but I think you can use any veggies you like. So broccoli it was, blanched just like you would with beef & broccoli.
When it's go-time, you just rinse off the beef, I usually pat it dry a bit, and then after you heat the oil in your big pan, you throw it in for few minutes, making sure you stir constantly. Then you throw in some more garlic & ginger, stir it around a bit and then add the veggies. Those will take just about a couple minutes. Then you add the scallions, dried chilies & sauce and just keep stirring for about 2 minutes.
That's it! So easy & delicious! Even for a rookie!!
