Prep Work!

We are going to do this in a two part. Not only because I have therapy to get too. BUT because one of the things Kevin taught me was that prep work was very important. So…. a little history

I had the curse pleasure of working with My brother N Law in the kitchen. He is one messy boy but he sure knew how to cook. When I asked him to make one of the pies my uncle used to make he said no. Asked him why… he said because you can’t compete with a dead guy. LOL. But he taught me a lot of neat things in the kitchen. One is this recipe here. He used to make it on the slope for all the guys. Said they used to rave about it… and my kids do the same. So here it goes…….

Mongolian beef

thinly slice 2 pounds of Beef

100_1757sml

add to it….

100_1759sml  

2 TBS Soy sauce

100_1758sml 

2TBS cornstarch.

100_1760sml 

4 cloves garlic pressed/ I find it works better to grate. Stire and set aside…..

Slice Veggies

100_1753sml 2 bunches onions

100_1755sml 4 medium carrots

100_1754sml 1 green pepper

100_1756sml place in a bowl and set aside.
