Mongolian Beef

This Mongolian Beef is fast, delicious and better than take-out!  

I strive to put great food on the table every night. In our busy household, this is often challenging. I need quick meals that I can pull together at the last minute and that everyone will love.

Mongolian Beef is a winner in our house. It’s fast, easy and delicious!

Full disclosure….this is Mongolian Beef,  but I didn’t actually use beef! I used elk meat! Beef or Elk Meat…it doesn’t really matter…. Either meat works perfectly in this dish.

We eat a lot of wild game. I often just substitute elk or venison in a recipe. When I first met Rod, I had no idea what to do with a freezer full of wild game meat. I’ve learned what cuts are tender and how to substitute different meats. More often than not, I use wild game in recipes like in these meatballs. Please use what works for you.

Another favorite take-out recipe to make at home is this Orange Chicken.
