Hi Lois, Velveting is optional for this recipe as the beef is fried until it is crispy on the outside so tenderness is not as critical

Hi Bill, I’ll be making your mongolian beef this weekend. Do I need to velvet my flank steak for that?

Hi David, agree that velveting beef is a key step!

Very easy and delicious, perfect for a healthy and satisfying midweek dinner. The velveting with a tiny amount of bicarb makes all the difference, super tender beef! I found two lonely mushrooms in my fridge that I sliced up and added when I fried the garlic and ginger, but otherwise followed the recipe faithfully.

I struggle to find Chinese cooking wine where I live and even my trusty substitute dry sherry is no longer available (what is the world coming to??). For anyone in a similar predicament I have discovered dry vermouth works well too.

This was very, very good. I added a little red pepper flake and toasted some sesame seeds for the top. Otherwise followed exactly. Many of these recipes do not velvet the beef and that is a HUGE mistake. Thanks you this was excellent.

Hi Chris, in this recipe, we use the shortcut method so no rinsing. Check out our post on velveting beef and don’t miss the comprehensive youtube video!
