<center>I have a friend who loves chinese food, and I mean really loves it…it’s kind of a sickness.  Now while that might not seem like such a big deal, the real problem is that we have no access to decent Chinese food here.  After being dragged to every disgusting restaurant in the area, I decided I really needed to figure out how to make his favorite dish, Mongolian Beef.   I found this to be much more challenging than I originally thought it would be. You see, I am someone who cooks by taste, not so much by measuring…and well, that just didn’t work with this.  I discovered that everything about this style of cooking was completely different than anything I had ever done.   So, after many failed attempts... I am proud to say that I have mastered the art of Mongolian Beef.  I wanted to share my recipe with you today, in case you knew someone with a sickness as well.</center>

#  <center>The Process </center>

<br>

### The Sauce
<br>
First we are going to be making the sauce so that it has time to thicken while we are finishing up the other components.
* Place 3Tbsp Olive Oil into a small saucepan over medium heat until hot
* Add Chopped Garlic and Ginger and let cook for 2 mins
* Pour in ½ cup water and ½ cup soy sauce
* Then add ¾ cup of brown sugar
* Stir mixture and bring to a boil, then turn heat to low and let simmer while you continue to the next step.

<br>
### The Meat
<br>
We use a cut of New York Strip Steak because it is something we get in bulk. Any tender cut would work in this recipe though, including skirt steak.
* You will want to slice the steak against the grain in thin strips.
* Then add your cornstarch to a plate and toss steak strips in the powder until fully coated.

<br>
* Heat your coconut oil in a heavy pan till scolding hot and pan fry your steak, making sure not to crowd the pan.
* You want a nice crisp to the steak without over cooking it, so make sure your oil is hot and turn as soon as you get that beautiful brown crisp.
* Once you have done so to all of your steak, set aside.

<br>

### The Vegetables
<br>
Next we are going to quickly sauté our onions, making sure not to overcook them.  I am sticking with the traditional Mongolian Beef ingredients here, but you could also add additional vegetables to this including spinach, zucchini, red peppers, broccoli etc.

<br>


### Putting It Together
<br>
Now we are just going to add our meat to the cooked onions and pour sauce over them while giving them a good stir.  Let the mixture cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, then add in your green onions and a dash of red pepper flakes if you want a bit of a kick.  That’s it, serve over rice and enjoy!
