Beef with Broccoli

Main Dishes Beef

This is such an easy and delicious recipe! This is the same sauce from my favorite Mongolian Beef recipe. If you buy the thin sliced Beef Ribeye Shabu from your local Asian market (like Tokyo Central), this recipe is so quick and easy – takes about 20 minutes.

This is such an easy and delicious recipe! We love P.F. Chang’s Mongolian Beef. This recipe emulates it very well - first tried in April 2021. Use Flank Steak, Flap Meat, or Skirt Steak. This holds in the oven well so you can make it early and keep it warm.
