Mongolian beef recipe (蒙古牛肉) - How to cook in 5 simple steps

As a result, there isn’t any authentic method to prepare the Mongolian beef. So instead of searching for the original recipe, I have gone through a series of tests searching for the best way to bring out the flavor and texture of this American Chinese dish.
The following sections explain how to prepare Mongolian beef in detail, and the rationale behind each step.
