This Copycat P.F. Chang’s Mongolian Beef is great to make if you don’t have a lot of time, but if you want to try an even easier recipe, give our Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef a try!
My family loves getting Chinese takeout on the weekends, but in order to save a little money and a few calories, we decided to make Mongolian Beef at home.
Ingredients needed to make this Mongolian Beef at home:
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger (minced)
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 pound flank steak
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 3 green onions (sliced) – optional garnish

Congrats! You've been given the Green Blend Award!! Go to my blog for more details!!
Can't wait to come back and browse when I have more time ?
for those that attempt this recipe and don't get a crispy beef...you need to turn the heat up a bit in your pot and cook a smaller amount of beef at a time. You may have to do a few batches. Also, if you use a cheaper cut of beef, pound it down a bit or use a natural tenderizer...or cook the beef and sauce then put in the crock pot for a few hours to make the meat tender. You can def use a less expensive beef, but just need to change your method a bit to make it equally as tender for ya! :)
Also disappointed that the author here does not give credit to the food.com recipe which was obviously her inspiration as the first half of this recipe has been copied word for word.
