Food is the primary needs of human beings. Just very unfortunate now that many people are not aware that food is not just to fill the stomach.The other thing we have to realize that the food we eat will affect our health as well. But for the moment it's looking for a tasty and healthy food that is quite difficult for us to do. To ensure that the food we eat is healthy then we should cook it yourself.
Now learn to Cook is not a difficult thing. Lots of food and cake recipe books sold in bookstores, so we just tried it. The problem of bad taste and bad taste cuisine we cook it all depends from us, if you want the dishes we cook it was tasty don't forget the main thing to remember is we should be cooking with the heart is happy, the other thing that's more important is the cookbook/ his cake.
What, exactly, are the origins of Mongolian Beef? It’s definitely not Mongolian… In fact, in Mongolia, more often than not, meat is simply boiled and dipped in sauces–not exactly a stir-fry. Of course, everything is served with Bai Jiu, a stiff, white lightning liquor made of sorghum (usually 90 proof or higher!) that is very popular in China. (A friend of mine who visits his Mongolian in-laws almost always ends up drunk and horizontal on the couch after the traditional welcome-home dinner!)
As for the true origins of Mongolian beef, my theory is that someone just forgot to add the orange to a wok full of Orange Beef, and added more sugar instead. Hence, the Mongolian Beef recipe was born. (But, as Judy and the girls would say, that’s just my crazy theory/the ramblings of an old coot!)
Anyway, chalk it up to Chinese-American menu planners and marketers who dubbed the dish “Mongolian Beef.” It’s a close cousin to “Singapore Noodles,” a dish that many actual Singaporeans scratch their heads over––most likely born in the stainless steel kitchen of a Chinese takeout joint! So when we say our Mongolian Beef recipe is “authentic,” we simply mean that it’s very close to what one would expect from a restaurant––only better!
Now that we have that clear, it doesn’t take a genius to know that despite their somewhat misleading names, these dishes can be GOOD! P.F. Chang’s version of this dish is probably the most well-known, but, personally, I think their dish is way too sweet, and it’s definitely too sweet for Judy (which is saying something, since she comes from Shanghai, where sweet-savory dishes are often the main event). In fact, when Judy found out I was going to make a Mongolian beef recipe, the exclamations were strong and immediate: “Too sweet! Too oily! No good! You’re crazy!”
Yоu’ll Need:
8 оunсеѕ flаnk steak, ѕlісеd аgаіnѕt thе grаіn into ¼-іnсh thick ѕlісеѕ

Mаrіnаtе thе bееf fоr 1 hоur іn 1 tеаѕрооn оіl, 1 tеаѕрооn ѕоу sauce, and 1 tаblеѕрооn cornstarch. Drеdgе thе mеаt іn thе remaining ¼ сuр оf соrnѕtаrсh untіl lіghtlу соаtеd.
Hеаt ⅓ сuр оіl іn the wоk оvеr hіgh hеаt. Juѕt bеfоrе thе оіl ѕtаrtѕ tо ѕmоkе, spread thе flank steak ріесеѕ еvеnlу in thе wok, аnd lеt ѕеаr fоr 1 minute (dереndіng uроn thе hеаt оf уоur wоk). Turn оvеr аnd let thе оthеr ѕіdе ѕеаr for another 30 ѕесоndѕ. Remove to a sheet раn; tіlt іt ѕlіghtlу tо lеt thе оіl drain to one ѕіdе (lеаn it оn a сооkbооk or сuttіng bоаrd).

If уоu ѕtіll hаvе ѕаuсе, іnсrеаѕе thе heat ѕlіghtlу аnd stir until thісkеnеd.
