I recently found this recipe on Joelen’s Culinary Adventures. This blog is full of good stuff, there is so much to read and look through, I just love it!!
Joelen’s Mongolian Beef recipe is so easy to make…I had a lean sirloin steak in the freezer and sliced it up very thin. I served it with stir fried broccoli and snap peas and brown rice. This meal was perfect for a weeknight and made plenty for leftovers for lunch the next day.
Recipe from Joelen’s Culinary Adventures
2 bunches green onion, cut in 1 inch pieces
1 lb lean beef, sliced thin
salt & pepper to taste
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 onion, diced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
Season sliced beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
Sprinkle cornstarch over beef and toss to coat. Set aside.
In hot pan saute garlic and onion in cooking oil until softened.
Add meat and brown.
Add oyster sauce and soy sauce; stir to coat.
Just before serving, add green onions and toss.

This looks so fresh, healthy and tasty! I’m allergic to seafood. Do you think I could just leave out the oyster sauce, or subtitute something?
I left some awards for you on my blog.
I just started cooking with oyster sauce so no substitute came to mind, but I found this thread on recipezaar that might be helpful!

I made a mongolian beef last winter when we were reading about Ghengis Khan, and it was actually a similar recipe. I have yet to post my asian-inspired recipes on my blog but here’s my favorite one from my reference site (sorry, no picture yet):

I always leave the Asian cooking to my hubby. His is always better than take out. Looks like you are doing a fantastic job as it looks delicious.
I love asian cooking at home! Looks like it turned out really well! Yummy!
I have a few- but this is a nice sweet one:

Looks really delicious! I have a favorite Mongolian Beef recipe that I use, but am always willing to try a new one
I do know a good subsitute!!! Last week I was reading Cooks Illustrated and soy sauce or even worschsire (what? no, I can’t spell that! haha) works as a perfect sub.
This is one of my favorite dishes. I would second that soy sauce or even worschsire is an excellent substitute!!!!
This looks fabulous Aggie!
My hubby would love this. He always orders this type of dish when we eat out. It looks delicious.
My fave stir fry that is so easy and super fast is: http://maresfoodandfun.blogspot.com/2008/04/chicken-and-zucchini-stir-fry.html
We make it a couple times a month and always take it to friends and neighbors. Plus, like all stir-fries it is so versatile, that you can use whatever veggies you have on hand.
of course, the other fave is Pot Stickers:http://maresfoodandfun.blogspot.com/2008/08/turkey-pot-stickers-and-prudys-asian.html
I make them at least once a month and freeze a bunch for my hubby. He loves them.
oh, and that salad of Prudy’s in that same post is amazing!
thats a great recipe…oyester sauce is something I use and love cooking with.
my first time here. Would love to have you visit my place sometime.
