Mongolian Beef Steak

Sweet, tangy and with a little spice this recipe ticks all the boxes. Usually garnished with Spring onion but as I had none I added peppers and onion. Slicing the beef into strips meant I could use 1 rump steak for 2 people so it's very economical too and quick to cook...always a bonus. Im sure this will become a firm favourite in your family as the sweetness counteracts the spice making it not too spicy for the children but feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your families needs,e.g.,less spicy or sweet or even substitute beef steak for mince or chicken as it's an all rounder recipe that works well with most meats.This feeds 2 but its very easy to adjust the amounts to feed 4 or more.The step by step photo guide allows you to follow the recipe easily.

  1. Absolutely superb, had clear plates, even 14 year old ate it all – i had to use Gluten free soy, which is high in salt, so after messaging Eve , we decided to add 30ml soy sauce & 90ml water, kept the sugar the same & added carrot stir fry strips & less peppers, as we are not keen on them & i used steak sizzlers,

    Thank you for sharing the recipe x
