This dish is a REAL winner. Uses ground beef and ready in less than 30 minutes with a minimum of prep. Who could ask for more?
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.

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.

Hannah Donohoe says
Made this the other night, will definitely make again! sooo goood! altho I accidently put to much cayenne pepper so it was a littke spicy lol
JosieJewel says
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?
Judith Hanneman says
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.
