This Mongolian Beef recipe from Delish.com is better than P.F. Changs!

Mongolian Beef

c. low-sodium soy sauce

brown sugar

lb. flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain

cornstarch

green onions, onion

Butter lettuce,

I just made this recipe using low sodium soy sauce, because that's what I use, and it was very good.  I was a bit skeptical about the sauce thickening but it did.   I will make this recipe again.

The person who posted this recipe I don't believe actually made it. Why? Because when you reduce down the sauce it is much to salty using regular soy sauce. You need to use low sodium soy sauce for this to work. Otherwise, I think it would have been good but it is frustrating to go to the trouble of making a recipe only to find it is has flaws.

I just made this recipe with ribeye steak.I seasoned my meat 1st .let marinate for 4 hours. I also use low sodium soy sauce. When I seared the steak in oil I also added chili oil. In the sauce I added onions and mushrooms. Served over brown rice.
I didn't have fresh ginger or scallions.. But will next time..My husband says it's a keeper..

Ultra crispy and smothered in a soy-based sauce studded with rich brown sugar, sweet mirin wine, and brimming with heat from Sambal Oelek, these Beef Lettuce Wraps are my new favorite way to do lettuce. With easy-to-find ingredients, and minimal prep and cook time, they&#039;re also the perfect way to get dinner on the table without  much effort.  

Bulgogi Beef Lettuce Wraps

tbsp sesame oil

lb sirloin

tsp salt

pear, grated

garlic cloves, minced

dark brown sugar (light is fine too)

mirin

tsp black pepper

tbsp gochujang or sambal oelek

green onions, sliced

butter lettuce

red peppers

sesame seeds

Heat a large wok or non-stick skillet over a heat heat. Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Swirl to coat the pan. Add ground beef. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Working quickly, use a wooden spoon to break up the beef into small pieces. Continue to brown the beef until it starts to turn very crispy on the outside. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Be sure to keep breaking up the beef with the wooden spooon.

While the beef cooks, slice the veggies if you haven&#039;t already. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, remaining sesame oil, black pepper, and sambal oelek to a jar with a lid. (You can also use a small bowl and whisk, just make sure to whisk until all the brown sugar has dissolved.) Shake the jar until the brown sugar has dissolved and all ingedients are combined.

Once the beef is cooked through, and most of it is crispy, add the onion and pear. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until onion has completely softened. Add garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until softened.

Sprinkle the beef with sauce and sprinkle with green onion. Continue to cook, stirring frequently until the beef is coated and the sauce has thickened, another 3-4 minutes.

Spoon into lettuce. Top with peppers and carrots. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
