hi hello everyone! Tonight we're cooking a crispy Mongolian Beef that's based off of a PF Chang's hack that I wrote last week. We're going to explore a few of the different ways this dish is made (including angus vs. flank steak, tianjin peppers, and more), plus the all important corn starch searing method that is well known for Mongolian Beef.
