Beef Chow Mein (Version 1)

This was compiled from a lot of experience over the years and watching various videos. This is my compilation in October 2019. I like Milanesa beef for this recipe – low cost, high quality, or thin-sliced Rib Eye from Tokyo Central.

Beef with Broccoli
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.

Beef with Snow Peas
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.

Blue Cheese Burgers
Tried this December 2017 and it was great!

Bulgogi
Style: Sweet–savory Korean BBQ beef, thinly sliced and marinated for tenderness and caramelized flavor. Cut: Rib-eye, sirloin, or top round — thinly sliced across the grain.
