Mongolian Beef

"This is a fast moving dish in any Chinese restaurant. I think that's not for its saucy aromatic taste but for its given exotic name "Mongolian beef". The name or its cooking method non native to Mongolia itself, but this dish is heavily promote by food outlets with those credentials. This is a surprisingly easy dish to cook, so give a try you'll love it."
