Author's Notes

Flank steak and sirloin steak are recommended cuts for Mongolian Beef. Keep in mind stew meats like chuck and round tend to be a bit tough and a bit too easy to overcook. You can also use ribeye and tenderloin.

Freezing the beef for about 30–60 minutes before you slice into it makes it much easier to cut. Slice against the grain.
