Mongolian Beef: A Chinese American Dish

Many people in the United States love the Chinese food known as “Mongolian Beef” which is normally served as a buffet dish. Mongolian Beef is only the name of this Chinese American dish; otherwise this never came from Mongolia. The pieces of the beef are sliced and then their strips are fried as steaks coated with spicy sauce. But before this the thin slices of the beef are mixed with cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce and pepper into a bowl. After keeping the beef marinated for almost half an hour, they are fried and stirred with oil and fried onions in wok. The best way to enjoy the Mongolian Beef is to eat it with stir-fried vegetables which not only add colors to this magnificent dish but it doubles its awesome taste. Some Americans also love the Mongolian Beef to be served over crispy fried cellophane noodles or with steamed rice. Mongolian Beef, the Chinese American Dish is prepared with many recipes and it is a part of the traditional American Cuisine.
