Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

  5. Add 1 cup julienned carrots 1 sliced red bell pepper and 4 sliced green onions then stir fry for 2 minutes until slightly tender.
  6. Pour in the prepared sauce and cook while stirring for another 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
  7. Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tsp sesame seeds over the stir fry.
  8. Serve the Mongolian beef stir fry over 2 cups cooked white rice and garnish with extra green onions if desired.
