The BEST Mongolian Beef Recipe
We love re-creating our favorite takeout recipes like Chow Mein and Fried Rice. This Chinese restaurant inspired Mongolian Beef is so EASY to make and tastes just as amazing as P.F. Chang’s. Thinly sliced beef seared until crispy with carrots, bell pepper, and green onion in a sweet and spicy sauce that adds so much flavor to the beef.
How to Make Mongolian Beef-
This recipe comes together quickly and is best when served fresh. This recipe cooks fast so make sure all of the ingredients are measured and prepped before starting the recipe.
- CUT MEAT – Slice the beef into thin slices across the grain. TIP: Freeze the meat for 30 minutes so it’s easier to achieve even, thin slices.
- VEGETABLES – Julienne the carrot and pepper, slice the green onions.
- COAT MEAT – Add cornstarch to the beef slices and completely coat (the cornstarch adds a crispiness to the meat as it’s cooked and at the same acts as a tenderizer for the meat).
- SAUCE – In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
- SAUTE VEGGIES – Saute vegetables to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
- COOK MEAT – Cook the beef until it’s crispy and has a good sear (don’t overcook the meat). TIP: Don’t overcrowd the pan, if needed, cook in batches. Add the vegetables back to the beef.
- SAUCE – Pour in the sauce and add the green onion, turn the heat down to medium. Cook until sauce thickens. TIP: Add additional Sriracha for more heat in the sauce.
Commonly Asked Questions for Mongolian Beef:
- What to serve with Mongolian Beef – This beef recipe is perfect to serve over a bed of our fluffy white rice.
- How long can you keep this recipe? The Mongolian Beef is great for meal prep because it will keep well refrigerated for up to three days. This is also a great recipe to use as meal prep and keep in individual portions to take to work and reheat for lunch.
- What is the best cut for a Mongolian Beef recipe? Flank steak is best for the recipe. However, you can easily use top sirloin or top round steak as a substitute with great results.
- Can I leave out the vegetables? Authentic Mongolian Beef is made with extra green onion. You can easily leave out the carrot and pepper, however, we love the extra flavor the veggies give the beef.
Once you give this homemade version of the Classic P.F. Chang’s Mongolian Beef a try, it will be on repeat for dinner.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Delicious and so easy! We served with noodles. I’ll definitely be making again! Pinned!
Awesome! Thanks for the great feedback and review, Kelly.
This was very good. Next time, for me, I will use less brown sugar and add more vegetables. A very good , tasty recipe.
Sounds good, glad you liked it!
There is nothing not to love about this recipe, especially for my completely addicted to Asian food family! With the financial effect covid has had on our budget, we could no longer afford our monthly outings to P.F. Changs for our family dinner night. I prepared this for them for an early evening meal today, and if the looks of happiness and the very best kind of shock on their faces is any indication, they will be clamoring for this way more than once a month!!!! As a Mother and food lover, this ticked off every single box that I have for a healthy, tasty, quick, and minimal clean up recipe. I just found this site for recipes, and I can promise you that this great new resource is going to be utilized at length, most of all before I ever buy groceries so I can put some delicious and fun recipes on our meal plan for the week. I served this over some Basmati rice which was a definite home-run for us, and a green salad with some seasame & ginger dressing and a little sprinkle of fried wontons on top. Thank you so much for sharing these with us!!!!
I”m so happy to have read your message and review, that inspires me to make more recipes for you all. Thanks so much for sharing!
Tried this for family guests and we all loved it. Can’t imagine finding a recipe any better. Delicious
Love it! Thanks for your good comments and review, Judy.
There is only one problem with this recipe. When we print out recipes from this site the print is so small I have to use a magnifying glass to be able to read it. It’s really a pain. I wish we could have the option for larger print for those of us with poor eye sight. Natasha, please consider this suggestion. Thank you.
HI Scott, that is probably a setting on your printer. Make sure you have the scale set to 100.
My stepson loves this dish, easy to make and terrific flavours. I didn’t have beef on hand this time so i substituted the beef for chicken thighs and it turned out just as good. I make this dish on a regular basis. Thanks Natasha!
Good to know that you enjoyed this using chicken too, thanks for the review!
This is one of the best dishes I have ever cooked, and I cook a lot so that’s a big compliment! I cannot believe how easy this is to make and how much flavor this dish has. I used 1 sirloin steak. Thank you Natasha for sharing with us and for being such a blessing to all of us with these delicious recipes.
Thank you for the compliment, Maria. It means a lot to us!
Excellent and very easy!!! It took me about 30 min to prep and 30 min to cook.
This will be my go to recipe for Mongolian beef. No more store bought sauce. Thank you!!!
So glad you loved it! Thank you for sharing.
This is by far the best reciepe for Mongolian Beef that I have ever made! I love your reciepes and clear instructions – and how you do your prep work first making cooking time a lot less – when I am making a recipe I always look you up first – you have a definate gift <3
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Denise!
I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Substituted broccoli for the peppers. Will definitely make it again!
I’m glad to hear that, Susan! Thank you for sharing.
Really tired of recipes including this one that understate the real time it takes to make them. I am very experienced and took me longer than 30 minutes for sure. Though it was a wonderful dish
I made this exactly as the recipe lists and it is terrific. We all loved it! I stir-fried some broccoli as a side dish and served it all over rice. Yummy and easy. I will definitely make this again. My husband wants me to add some extra Sriracha to make it a little spicier next time, so I will try that. A+ as is!
I’m so glad it was a hit! Thank you for sharing.
One of my family’s favorite dishes of yours. I was thinking of making this for a holiday party but wanted to make it the day before. We never have leftovers so I wasn’t sure how fresh it would taste if I reheated the next day.
Hello Alishia, I would probably toss the beef with the cornstarch before cooking or it will get gummy and might clump.
I have stew beef meat but no steak. Can I use this in the recipe?
Hi Cindy, this recipe will still work with stew beef, but we found the best flavor and results with flank steak.
Excellent recipe. Perfect as is……………………………..
Thank you, Lois!
Hi I was wondering if the 1tsp of sriracha makes it spicy? Or just adds a taste? Wanted to make this for my family but my kids can’t handle spicy!
Hi Angie, no, it does not add too much heat. You could leave it out if you’d like and it will still taste great.
Hello
Love this recipe. My husband asks for this meal every week.
Just one question- which soy sauce for this recipe – dark or light?
Hi Desiree! I use light (all-purpose) soy sauce, the type you’d use for dipping sauce.
I made the Mongolian Beef for dinner and it was really delicious! I didn’t have any fresh green onion but used fresh chives instead as they are ready to use in the garden, and I used two tsp. sriracha sauce because we love spicy! Excellent meal, love your recipes. Thank you.
Hello Alicia, great to hear that you loved the result! Thank you for sharing your experience trying out this recipe.
Ik wil het gerecht graag maken maar weet niet wat Sriracha is. Kan U mij dit laten weten AUB zodat ik het kan uit proberen DankU.
Hi Frieda, according to their website description: “Sriracha is a type of hot sauce or chili sauce made from a paste of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt.” I hope that helps.
Natasha, out of all the millions and billions of recipes and instructions on the internet, you are absolutely the top best number 1, always such an amazingly delicious recipes and clear instructions nothing left to chance. just a quick question, because carrot is really hard if you don’t add enough salt, it always taste bland cause I try to be careful with salt, so how much salt just for the carrot and bell pepper do you recommend for this particular recipe, thank you so very much, you are awesome, cheers from North Vancouver, BC, Canada. 🙂
Hi Ed, thank you for that thoughtful compliment. The sauce in this recipe is sufficient to add enough salt to the entire dish so I don’t add any extra salt to the vegetables.
Made this last night. It was delicious! There was none left on our plates. I will definitely be making it again. After prep cooking went quickly. Try this you will be happy you did!
That’s great! Thank you for the excellent review. I’m so happy to hear it was enjoyed.
I made this delicious Mongolian beef and it was a bummer!!!!!
Good so much complements how good this dish smells.
Doing again this weekend!
Thank you 😊
From the first time I tried this, it’s been my second favorite food, which is saying A LOT. It’s amaaaazing. We’d tried a few other Mongolian recipes and this one is by far the best. My son prefers chicken for everything, so we’ve made it as chicken, and it’s still unbelievable. I dont usually like ginger, but I dont taste it in this, so it’s okay. We hardly ever use recipes as they are… we always make adjustments… but this one is already SO fabulous that we dont need to! We’ve made it a bunch of times over the last year or so. We just made it for the first time in the last couple months, and it was so good that I just felt like crying! Ahhhh thank you SO much!
Hello Laura, that’s really some wonderful feedback. Thank you for sharing that with us, I’m happy that you loved this recipe a lot!
This was delicious!!! The sauce was amazing and could be used on all sorts of thing in my opinion. Another great recipe!!
I bet it can, Meg! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, this recipe is a keeper!!! I did add broccoli, maybe will add mushroom next time. The sauce is just full of flavor I love it. Thank you Natasha, now I can plan what to cook for the next birthday party!
Sounds great, Stacy. I hope you’ll love all the recipes that you will try!
I made this today and it was delicious! I had some shrimps in the fridge, added them at the end and it was wonderful! Thanks Natasha for another great recipe! 👌🏼😍
You’re very welcome! Great to know that the recipe was a huge hit!
This is a delicious recipe, but takes more than 30 minutes. I also made double the amount of sauce. Flavorwise, it’s amazing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
We had another wonderful dinner tonight thanks to yet another delicious recipe from your site. I enjoy cooking again because of your variety of easy to follow tasty recipes. THANK YOU!
I’m happy to hear that, Jane. I hope you’ll love all the recipes that you will try!
This is an amazing recipe. I tripled the recipe for my family, and it was a big hit! Thank you so very much for this wonderful recipe!
That’s the best when it’s a hit with the family, that’s so great!
Delicious! Made with venison tenderloin and it was excellent!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
My picky 10 year old who does not eat many vegetables devoured this. My husband and I enjoyed it as well. I think I will try it with a little less sugar next time.
Yay, that’s fantastic feedback, thanks for sharing! I’m happy to know that your family enjoyed this recipe.
Perfect proportions, so delicious. It’s my go to recipe for a quick flavorful meal. I serve it with white rice. Also tastes very good reheated for lunch the next day.
Hello Nataliya, thanks for sharing your feedback with us. So glad you loved the recipe!
Just made this for dinner and received rave reviews by the family! So delicious! Will put this in the dinner rotation! Thanks again for another wonderful recipe!
That is the best when kids love what we moms make. That’s so great!
Made this tonight. Delicious! My wife gets excited on Thursday night (my night for cooking) when I tell her it’s one of your recipe’s Thanks for the recipe!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review.
I’m going to make this tonight. I see sesame seeds in the dish, but I don’t see them on the ingredients list. Do you just sprinkle them on top, or mix them in with the sauce? Thanks!
Hi Kevin, they’re an option topping add.
Thanks! I didn’t see your reply to my comment before I submitted my review. We did add them on top. It was great!
So easy and SO DELICIOUS! This was a hit in my house and will absolutely be added to our regular menu. I love simple recipes through the week. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for your awesome review, Christie!
Made this tonight and it was a hit. Easy recipe to follow and comes out great.
Great to hear that you loved the result, Ken. Thank you for sharing!
Sooooo good. My daughter is celiac and this recipe is gluten free which she really enjoys. Just watch out for sesame seeds as I was surprised to see wheat in package. It is as good as any Chinese take out and easy to make. Can’t wait to try other recipes as there are many that look good.
I’m happy to know that your daughter likes this recipe. Thank you for sharing that with us, Susan. We appreciate your review!
Would really love to make a Keto version of this. Any suggestion on substitutions- this recipe has a high card content. Thanks in advance!
P.S. You recipes are amazing!
Hi PJ, I honestly haven’t tested any other substitution to advise. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes!
Love this recipe. Better than any I have ever had in a restaurant. Definitely faster than take out will never order this out again. And veggies will never be over cooked again. I love snow peas in this too.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Shirley! I always homemade is best!
I like the vegetables and beef to stay crispy so I remove the veggies to the bowl with the beef, then add the sauce to the pan. When it thickens I add the veggies and beef back in, toss a few times, and serve.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
I really like your kitchen. 😋. Please, what is SCHIRACHA? I need for Mongolian beef. Thank you. Jirina
Hi Jirina, it is a spicy sauce. Here is a link to Sriracha sauce on Amazon, but it is available in most major grocery stores in the Asian food section.
Fantastic Recipe – made it just to my liking with a few changes
I don’t like soy sauce so I substituted ponzu sauce with only 1/4 cup brown sugar and it was amazing 🙂
Thank you Natasha
You’re welcome, Sophia. Great to hear that you loved it!
Wow! We made it once, and since then we’re craving for it from time to time, and make it couple of times, again!
Thanks for sharing recipes that actually “works “! 😌🙏🏻
Hi bahar, glad that you’re enjoying my recipe. Hope you will try my other recipes. Thank you.
What oil do you use for this dish?
Hi Judy, I used extra light olive oil
This was a great recipe but a little too sweet for me. The next time I make it I will reduce the amount of brown sugar and up the sriracha just a bit…nice and saucy!
Hi Tara, I’m glad you gave it a try! I hope you love it even more the second time around!
I made this last night and it was absolutely delicious! This will definitely be one of my go to recipes!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Linda!
I made this tonight. It was so quick & easy, not to mention absolutely delicious! Thanks for a great recipe that I will definitely make again.
That’s so great, Karen! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!
This is amazing, definitely making this again, thank you
You’re welcome, Tina! I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Hi Natasha
I wanted to ask you if i could use light or dark soya sauce to make it? I don’t have low sodium soy sauce. I also can’t wait to finish making this 🙂
Hi Ade, it works best with low sodium soy sauce or Tamari Sauce for gluten-free Mongolian Beef. I haven’t tested this with light or dark soy sauce to advise on the outcome. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Hi Natasha!
Could I make this with ground beef?
Hi Ashley, I honestly haven’t tried that yet to advise. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes.
Just made this today. Great hit with the family. My wife got me to check your website as she is a keen devotee. Well impressed.
I will be back!
I’m so happy to hear this was a hit, Terry! That’s so great!
Wow! This recipe was definitely a hit in our household. Being 4.5months pregnant and ongoing nausea not that I could make this recipe, I actually got to enjoy it which rarely happens these days.My three brother-in-law and my husband ate this within seconds😘❤️Thank you!
Hi Lilly! That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
My sister and I made this for dinner yesterday. Our family loved it! So did we. We tore it up! It was all gone. We served it over brown rice. We’ve enjoyed using a lot of stir fry recipes. Thanks for the recipe Natasha!
Yummy! I’m so happy the entire family loved this!
Made this for a very picky 17year old eater and he is on his second helping.
This was delicious.Thank you.
Hi LA, that is awesome and I’m happy with that. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi, where is the video, latley the videos of “popular right now” compete with the video of your recipes. I have been noticing that many recipies do not have a video anymore and there are so helpful.
Hi Camilla, we produce and post only 1 video per week because I prefer quality over quantity. Thanks for suggesting a video for this recipe, hopefully, we can do one in the future.
Made this last night but with venison and my family said this was a definite keeper. Thank you for your easy and delicious recipes.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
Made this Mongolian beef tonight and it was absolutely delicious. Even better than a restaurant. I added some snow peas too.
Glad you loved it, Maria! Thank you for sharing your great feedback with us.
I just made this for dinner and I must say the sauce is amazing!!! This is the mongolian beef recipe I’ve ever had!
That’s so awesome, Gina! Thank you for your perfect comment and review, I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe.
Made this tonight – yum! I had sesame seed oil and used that instead of regular oil. I also wanted to mention that as some one with a gluten issue they do make gluten free low sodium soy sauce but I soy appreciate you posting a substitute.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
I am not sure the ingredients of the sauce are. Could you clarify please?
Hi Carolina, if you go to the recipe post and click “Jump to Recipe” it will take you to the printable recipe card where you can see the list of ingredients for the sauce under “Sauce Ingredients-“. I hope that helps.
This was so good! My husband and I loved it. I made one substitution. I used Truvia Brown Sugar because my husband is diabetic. It came out great! Served it over cauliflower rice.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely as good as you’ll order out in any restaurant. (it took me way more than 30 minutes from start to finish though.)
Last night I decided to try substituting pork loin for the beef, and adding some zucchini strips – it was every bit as delicious.
Hello Lois, I’m glad you loved it and that your substitution worked great too!
My hubby is a big fan of homemade stir fries and we both agree this is the best yet, plus it’s easy and quick to prepare. I forgot to mix the cornstarch with the meat so I added it at the end, mixing with a small amount of water, so it wouldn’t get lumpy. I also added broccoli florets and topped it with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. This is a keeper!
Very nice! Thank you for your good comments and review, we appreciate it!
Can I serve this over Chow Mein noodles instead of rice? 🤔
That sounds delicious! I bet that would pair well together.
This was just delicious and will certainly make this easy recipe again.
The only problem I had was the breading (cornstarch) did not adhere to the beef when cooked. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Hi Diane, make sure to use a good non-stick pan which will help with that.
Can you have a low sugar alternative? Is it possible to use stevia to substitute some of the brown sugar?
Hi Provi, I haven’t tried stevia or any other substitute to advise. But you put less sugar in this recipe.
I used Truvia Brown Sugar. It came out really good.
This was easy and delicious! Thanks for the great recipe. My family loved it. Definitely will be making this again.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
I love this recipe. I doubled it and still there wasn’t enough. They just couldn’t stop eating it..
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review!
This is the best one I’ve made at home! I’ve been trying to match the Mama Fu’s one and this one isnt quite as good, but is still delicious! We used chicken and it still worked great. My main focus was the sauce anyways, and it was wonderfully flavorful without being overpowering. My 13 year old went back for THIRDS. I do usually eat rice, but I thought this was so good on it’s own that I didnt even need that. Definitely a win, and we will make this again for sure! (with beef next time!)
I’m glad you liked our recipe, Laura. Thanks for sharing that with us!
Made this last night and it was yum yum yummy! My husband was so excited there would be leftovers for lunch! I’m loving cooking again! Thank you!
Fantastic! I’m happy to know that you and your husband really enjoyed this recipe. Thanks for sharing, Lisa.
This was absolutely delicious and I’ll definitely be making this again! I wanted to lick my plate … thank you so much! My husband loved it as much as I did! Perfect over a mound of fluffy white rice.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
It is delicious! Excellent recipe – all the family enjoyed it. The only thing I changed was to remove sugar, and added more Sriracha (my taste 😀 ) .
Thanks for the TIP to freeze the meat, is saving a lot of effort.
You’re welcome, Claudia. Great to hear that you loved this recipe! Adding more sriracha sounds like a good idea!
I’ve make a similar Mongolian beef that doesn’t have any vegetables so I usually add shredded carrots, crushed red pepper flakes and sweet onion slices.
I’ll be using your recipe going forward.
Thank you for a great recipe!
Thank you
Hi Lisa, thank you for trying out my recipe. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Not one little slurp left! ALL Gone… family was scraping the last little drops off the dish… thanks, that was amazing!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
another amazing dish!!! thank you sooo much!!!
by the way, I added mushrooms… yummy!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Definite winner! Adding it to the lineup for sure.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
It looked delicious, I made it with rib eye steak and unfortunately I did not have low sodium soya so it was a bit salty . I am buying low sodium soya today. It was still a very good recipe and I will make it again .
Absolutely amazing recipe. This was the first time that I’ve tried mongolian beer recipe. It came just like restaurants one. I adjusted chilli sauce according to my taste. But over all great taste and easy recipe. 👍👍
Hello Rutaba, thanks for sharing your good comments with us. I appreciate it!
Love this! I went exactly by the recipe and it was wonderful! This is what my husband eats when we go out and he says he can’t tell the difference.
Thank you for the wonderful review!
Could you make this in the slow cooker?
Hi, I have not tried this in a slow cooker to advise. If you happen to experiment, I would love to know how you like that!
Made this last night for my family. My kids exact words were we feel like we are eating at a Chinese restaurant. It was easy to make and very tasty. I will be making this dish again !
That is the best when kids love what we moms make. That’s so great!
Made this tonight and omitted the peppers and sriracha to make it more kid friendly. My husband had seconds which NEVER happens! This was amazing and will make it again!!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
A family favorite now. I’ve make it a lot because it is so requested. I do a whole pound of beef and double the sauce. Good with fresh or ground ginger. Yum!
Hi Heidi, I’m glad this is now a family favorite! Thank you for sharing.
Can I use an air fryer to cook beef? Thanks
Hi Jessica, I haven’t tested this in an Air Fryer to advise. If you happen to experiment, I would love to know how you like that.
Love how super easy and delicious this was! Another great recipe!! Thanks so much!
WOW! Made this last night. Only change was I added a cup of small broccoli florets. So simple and so yummy! Another Natasha recipe is a hit. I have done about 5 of her recipes and all AMAZING. 10 stars on this recipe!
Hi Lisa, You’re so nice! Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Made this for my daughter’s family. Very easy to make. My son in law said it was the best Mongolian beef he ever had!!!
Wow! That’s so great! I’m so happy you all enjoyed that!
Natasha and Valentina!!! This is the first recipe blog that I would give 5 stars to every recipe I’ve tried. This recipe is no exception. I’ve never cooked this much for my family! Thank you for sharing your recipes and tips!!
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me! I’m all smiles
Rich flavor meal! Delicious!!! Easy to make! Thank you SO much!
Hi Natalie, I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
This was absolutely delicious – the sauce is amazing and we’re going to use it with all our future stir-fries! I don’t like peppers but we followed the recipe and it was wonderful – didn’t even know the peppers were there. We also added a bit of steamed broccoli. Yum. Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it Izabela!
I’m making this evening! Thinking of using sesame oil for 1/2 the oil requirement. Thoughts?
Hi Donna, I have not tested this with sesame oil to advise. If you happen to experiment I would love to know how you like that.
Thanks! I’m gonna try! Will report back! A.lso,do you think it would be ok to toss the beef with the cornstarch about 2 hours ahead? Trying to prep early!
Hi Donna, I would probably do that step before cooking or it will get gummy and might clump.
Valentina and Natasha, I don’t think i even have the right words to describe how delicious this mongolian beef was!!!!! SO SO YUMMY! last time I made it, it was just gone! So, today I doubled the meat recipe aaaand tripled the sauce recipe! It is definitely our family favorite and the best part is that our kids love it!!! thank you so much! I love both of your blogs
You’re welcome Luda! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!!
Hi Natasha, the beef was so tasty and easy to make. Every bit as good as our favourite takeaway.
So glad you loved this recipe. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Natasha you are the best! Your recipes always please. This Mongolian Beef recipe was no exception. Delicious! I used a flat iron steak which was very juicy and tender. Thank you.
You’re welcome, Theresa! I’m so glad you enjoyed that!
Mongolian beef was great!! My kids enjoyed prepping with me. My 4 year old boy is mostly a carnivore so he inhaled the beef!
I’m so glad you all enjoyed this recipe! Thank you so much for your awesome feedback.
Super yummy and easy to make! Thanks!
You’re welcome Semida! I’m glad you enjoyed that!
Delicious .. my family loved it.This is the first recipe I have tried since following your Facebook page and I am excited to try more!
This recipe was so amazing and so delicious! The meat was tender and a little crispy and the sauce was just the best! I served this over basmati rice and this will be a keeper for sure as I have already been asked to make this again soon! Thank you Natasha!
My pleasure! So great to hear that you loved this recipe, thanks for your sharing your wonderful experience with us!
I absolutely love this recipe! I’ve made this 3 times so far & will keep on making this. Local restaurants can’t make this tasty dish as great as this recipe! Thanks again Natasha!😃

Amazing!!! Loved everything about this recipe, will be making again and again.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Delicious! My husband loved it!
Thank you so much!
Delicious! My husband loved it! The flavors really come together.
Wow! Excellent recipe! I just made it today and we all enjoyed it very much! I did it with 2lbs of ribeye steaks and used 2/3c of soy sauce and 1/3 of siracha to compensate for the extra pound of beef. I made a mistake with the green onion and read thinly sliced instead of thickly, but it was absolutely delicious nonetheless! Tomorrow I will be making your Beef Stroganoff for dinner! So excited!
I hope you love the beef stroganoff recipe! Thank you for sharing that with us!
Love it 🙂
Love, love your recipes!
Did you use Sriracha sauce or a dry Sriracha seasoning?
AND when will you be doing a cookbook? I need one out by Christmas so my husband can get me one
I’m so glad you’re enjoying our recipes, Teresa! We used Sriracha sauce for heat. We do not have one at this time but we are working on one. Stay tuned!
Thanks for the wonderful recipe Natasha – the whole family enjoyed it immensely 🙂 I used rump steak instead and added leftover broccoli to the vegetables listed – just perfect!
That is awesome, Pearl. I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you for your wonderful review.
Loved this! My hubby said it needed to go on our monthly menu. I used a sirloin steak and it was tender and delicious. Next time I’m going to add some broccoli to it!
That’s so awesome! Thank you for that great review! Sounds like you found a new favorite!
I really liked the recipe but had a problem with a meat sticking the the bottom of a dutch oven while frying. Did you have the same problem? What kind of skillet would you advise to use for it? Thanks
Hi Jessica, A dutch oven isn’t truly non-stick. I would suggest using a non-stick pan if you are having trouble in a dutch oven.
Natasha, I have to tell you, once again you have blown me out of the water with this recipe. Easy, as delicious, if not more as the restaurants and definitely will be making it again. I did have an issue though and it had nothing to do with the recipe, but probably my limited cooking skills, but my flank steaks pieces, even though very tasty, they were very chewy. Would that be because of my cooking, did I over cook or is there a specific way/direction to cut the meat? Please help, I know I will be making this recipe again, very soon. Love the flavors and the ease of making it.
Hi Marlen, make sure to cut the flank steak against the grain and also thinly slice. It helps to slice thinly if you freeze the steak for 30 minutes before slicing. I hope that helps.
Hello Natasha, thank you for the advice. I am truly looking forward to trying the recipe again with your pointers.
You’re welcome!
This was easy and delicious!! A new favorite for my recipe box!
Yay so glad you loved it! Thanks for sharing that with us.
Hi Natasha, I just your recipes. Question, I have a “eye of round roast” in my refrigerator that I need to cook. Would this cut of beef work for this recipe. Thank you
Hi Deborah, it isn’t ideal and might be a little tough. Make sure to thinly slice if you use it.
This was the best homemade Mongolian Beef. Thank you for posting your recipe.
You’re welcome and thanks for giving this recipe a great feedback!
Hola hope all is well in your family just one quick question do I need to change anything if I make it with chicken?
I honestly haven’t tried this recipe using chicken to advise but I imagine it may work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe
Can you please send a video for making this recipe because I would like to watch and cook?
Thanks
Hi Fatin, we don’t have a video tutorial yet for this recipe but hopefully we can create one in the future!
I’m making this again today it’s so delicious, the whole family loved it. Last time I made this and when I coated the steak with the corn flour it went quite mushy when I was frying it, what am I doing wrong? It still ended up really tasty though and we loved it.
Hi Dawn, I’m so glad you enjoyed that! Was your drying pan preheated? Overcrowding the pan could cause that also.
Loved this recipe. Easy to make and the flavours were delicious.just the right amount of sauce and the meat was very tender. Will be making again for sure. Thank you for this recipe.
You’re welcome Paulette! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Love it! I made this tonight with homemade crab rangoon and a box fried rice and it was perfect! My husband went back for seconds!
That’s so great! Thank you for that wonderful review!
My husband made Mongolian beef. After 50 years he has taken up cooking. Only your recipes tho. This recipe is my new favorite meal for sure. We left out the hot stuff because we can’t take the heat. lol. We loved it so much. Also I am not getting my facebook recipes anymore. Please put me back on. Thank you

Love it! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us Yana.
Hi Natasha, what can I use instead of sriracha please?
Hi Linda, you could leave out the sriracha if you prefer no heat. I had a reader write in saying they left it out recently and loved it.
AMAZING DISH!!! Highly Recommend! perfect for leftovers! you know its good when you have it twice in one week
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
Thank you so much. I made it for dinner. It is so delicious.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I can’t eat peppers, what could I substitute?
Hi Barbara, you can leave them out and the recipe will still work.
In trying this recipe today. The sauce doesnt include cornstarch? The ones in the meat are enough to thicken it?
Hi Sally, there is cornstarch in the recipe under the beef section which thickens the sauce.
And also you are very funny with all your movement while cooking.
Hi Natasha! This looks incredible and happens to be my favorite entree at our local Asian cuisine.
Can I use skirt steak instead of flank for this recipe?
Thank you!
Hi Renee, I haven’t tested that but I think it could work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Excellent recipe. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing I’ll be doing differently is add less brown sugar- maybe just a tablespoon. I found it a little bit sweet. And definitely more sriracha!
I’m so glad you enjoyed that Lita! Thank you for that amazing review.
Hi Natasha! I love all you food 😋 you’re amazing- thanks so much-
Thank you for your great comments, Angie. I appreciate it!
I wish I could give this 10stars. This was AMAZING. I will definitely be making this Again!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
So so delicious! One for the books for sure! Better than any Asian place!
Awesome! Thanks for the compliment
Hi, would you recommend this with chicken or lamb?
Hi Karina, I honestly haven’t tried this recipe using chicken or lamb to advise. You can try some of my Lamb Recipes.
I’ve tried this with chicken breast and it was delicious! Recommend!
This is one of our favorite dinners! We’re obsessed! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Chelsea, I’m so glad you enjoyed that!
Tender, juicy, & mouthwatering delicious!! This meal is hearty & a family favorite!
That’s so awesome! I’m so glad you found a family favorite on our blog!
This was delicious!! Just want to make a note, the actual recipe doesn’t include what to do with the cornstarch. I scrolled up and looked in the previous comments. But for someone wanting to print the recipe, it’s left out.
Thanks for the feedback Mags. We’ll see what we can do about that, we appreciate the heads up!
May 21…Still waiting on what to do with the corn starch, would love to make this tonight, thanks!
HI Michelle, I apologize I didn’t realize that step was not in the recipe card. We had it above but missed it in the printable. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Step 1: Place beef slices in a bowl, add cornstarch and stir to completely coat.
Delicious! This was even better than my local take out place. So easy and I really like having control of what goes in the food I feed my family!
Oh I’m so so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing that with me. It makes my day that your family loved this Mongolian Beef!
There is not a stir-fry or any other recipe of yours that has not truned out nothing but the best.
Thank you
Sal Cannizzo
Thank you so much for sharing that with us Salvatore! I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Absolutely delicious. This is our go to cheat meal. 1000 times better than any take out restaurant near us.
Nothing beats a homemade restaurant quality meal! I’m so happy you enjoyed that, Diane!
