Mongolian Beef & Bok Choy

This dish is of Chinese American cuisine and a very popular dish in America. It is a beef dish seasoned with a simple sauce, so there is little chance of failure. But I recommend you buy some good quality meat that is the soft part…ribeye steak, top sirloin. This is homemade Mongolian beef just the way you like it. If you want to make a darker color of this dish like a restaurant, you may add some Chinese dark soy sauce. It’s good to prepare the ingredients simply and stir-fry them quickly just before eating. My husband always asks a lot of questions of my dishes. “It tastes like eating at a Chinese restaurant! How did you make it?”…..My husband is completely ignorant of areas he is not interested in. I just laughed and explained kindly again. I used a Chinese sauce with this dish. There are sauces all over the world that go well with food. Cooking is easy and fun if you know how to use the sauce. If I don’t know something, I will keep learning.
