SUPER TENDER MONGOLIAN BEEF
My take on restaurant-style Mongolian Beef! Instead of frying the beef, we use a secret ingredient to marinate and tenderize it, and the results are phenomenal!

Steps:
- MARINATE: Add the thinly sliced beef, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon water, cornstarch, baking soda, white pepper, and garlic powder to a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside for at least 15 minutes and ideally, 1-2 hours works best to tenderize the meat.
- SAUCE: Combine the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl with a whisk or in a mason jar with a lid.
- SEAR THE MEAT: Heat a wok a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 ½ tablespoon of oil and allow for the oil to be just below the smoking point. Add one-third of the meat in a single layer and allow for it to cook through for 1-2 minutes or until it crisp, flip, and continue cooking for another 1 minute. Remove the meat to a plate and repeat with the remaining meat in batches, adding oil as needed.
- PUT IT TOGETHER: Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the same skillet and sauté the onion slices and dried red chilies for 1 minute. Add the garlic and give it 30 seconds then, add the beef back into the pan and toss. Kick the heat up to the highest setting and stir everything. Drizzle the sauce over the meat and toss to combine so all the meat is evenly coated in the sauce. Allow the sauce to sizzle and thicken a tiny bit before adding the scallions and tossing until the scallion wilt just a bit. Top with sesame seeds and serve warm!
MONGOLIAN BBQ
This was amazingly tasty and easy to make for a terrific week night meal. I got the recipe from The Vegetarian Starter Guide. In fact the guide is for vegans but this is a tasty sauce that can be adapted to use meat (if you absolutely must). It was too good not to post. Seitan is a meat substitute used in place of chicken or beef. The snow peas go well with the rest of the sauce. I don't eat mushrooms so I left them out.

Steps:
- 1. In a large saucepan, combine first tamari, evaporated cane juice, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sake and first water and bring to a boil.

Add to cooked mixture and stir until combined. Store in refrigerator.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- If you're short on time, you can marinate the meat for a shorter period of time, but the flavor won't be as intense.
- You can use any type of meat for Mongolian barbecue, but flank steak, skirt steak, and chicken are popular choices.
- Be sure to slice the meat against the grain for the most tender results.
- When cooking the meat, don't overcrowd the pan or grill. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly.
- Cook the meat over high heat until it is browned and cooked through.
- Serve the Mongolian barbecue with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
