And the winner is: Mongolian Beef!
To celebrate the upcoming launch of The Fake Out Issue (Sunday, October 1 2017 at 8:30am) we asked our community to vote on which recipe should be pre-released ahead of the launch. The winner was this easy and delicious Mongolian Beef. This Mongolian Beef is featured as a part of the Chinese Banquet section of the new magazine and boy oh boy are you going to find some yummy new favourites in there!
We love this combination of thinly sliced beef, deliciously sweet sauce and slightly crunchy spring onions. The sauce is so good you will almost want to lick your bowls clean. We use a beef tenderloin, which may be referred to as an eye fillet where you live. Ask your butcher for some help if needed!
You can easily make up some steamed rice to serve alongside the dish.
