This recipe comes from my blogging buddy Lillian R who personally developed this recipe in her own kitchen.  Whoever makes it gives it rave reviews.

Lillian has very kindly consented to me presenting her dish on my own blog.  I have made some additions, one she even recommended–adding baby carrots for a little crunch factor and color.

Easy and inexpensive

Make sure to check her blog for many fantastic recipes, including the original of this.  She has tried literally thousands of online recipes and has posted hundreds of results on her blog with her own critiques.  Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and visit with Lillian here:

    I haven't eaten Mongolian beef for such a long time, so it had prompted me to come and take a look from Foodgawker. I'll try this recipe soon enough.

    The recipe sounds yummy! Looking at it though, the vinager has the note "my substitution," does that mean you added it instead of something and we use the vinegar?

    Hi Josie–I was just showing how my version differed from Lillian's. I tend to use rice vinegar in anything Asian where Lillian used plain white vinegar, I believe. I also added to her recipe…she had no veggies so I included carrots.
