Crispy Mongolian Beef

Updated: Feb 16, 2021

I love Chinese and am always so excited to try new dishes. So, when I decided to make this one, I knew for sure this one needs to be saved and shared with as many people as possible. My husband can’t eat beef, due to health problems, but even he came back for seconds and thirds. When he comes to the kitchen before a dinner party and stands over me while I’m cooking, it means he loved the tester and can’t wait for dinner to be served.

This dish comes together so quickly and the flavors are so clean. I have adapted it in a way that my kids love it as much as the adults. The toasted sesame seeds really bring a nuttiness to the dish. If you don’t believe how amazing this dish is, then just try it yourself! Good luck!
