After taking some time off to reconsider and prioritize a few things in my life, I've come to realize how much I miss sharing food with y'all. Whether it's cooking in the kitchen or out trying new restaurants, I think I've finally found my passion in life! (what a great feeling!)
Previously, I was focusing only on trying new restaurants and sharing with you. However, I love trying new recipes and am also working on a healthier lifestyle. So this time, I am going to take a new approach on this. While I will still be sharing new restaurants, I will be mixing in meals that I will be making at home or with my family!
With that being said, here is a quick meal that I made tonight. Mongolian Beef with white rice. Here's how I made this.
First off, the sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic and green onions. Mix and set aside. I picked up a 2 pound pot roast and sliced them up and added it to a large bowl. Add in the sauce and make sure all pieces gets coated. Once mixed, cover and refrigerate. I marinated this overnight but you could easily let it sit for a couple hours if needed.
Take the beef out about 45 to an hour before you start cooking. (this will help bring the meat up closer to room temperature which will help the meat cook more evenly as opposed to "shocking" it.)
Once ready to cook, heat up some oil in a pan. I usually use olive oil but I ran out so I had to use vegetable oil. Make sure the pan is nice and hot before adding the meat. Add the meat and cook thoroughly. Take the meat out and let it rest for a few minutes. Cut the meat into cubes and throw them back in the back just to fry it up a bit and get that little extra crunch! Serve over white rice and voila!
Now, it's your turn to share with my some of your favorite home cooked meals!
This looks really good! It also seems like it's fairly low calorie. 🙂
