📜 A Little History
Mongolian-style beef is a beloved Chinese-American takeout classic, known for its rich soy-based sauce and tender meat. Despite the name, it’s not traditionally Mongolian — it was created to suit Western tastes, blending umami, sweetness, and aromatics into one irresistible dish.
This tenderloin version keeps the spirit of the classic while making it quicker, lighter, and perfect for home cooking.

1½ lbs beef tenderloin, thinly sliced
