Mongolian Beef

Mongolian beef was popularized in the United States through Chinese-American restaurants in the 1970s and 1980s. Despite the name, the dish did not originate in Mongolia but is reflective of Mongolian barbecues. These are stir-fried dishes featuring meat and vegetables that originate on the Chinese island of Taiwan. Beef, green onions, and other vegetables are coated in a savory brown sauce and often served over rice or cellophane noodles.
