• delicious

• There is too much soy and not enough sugar. There is also way too much ginger.

• This sh*t is the best man!

• very good

• Turned out really good, thank you! I added a bit more pepper flakes and a little honey - awesome!

• I enjoyed this dish...Those who are commenting really need to check their spelling.

• there is too much sugar.

• I used your basic ingredients (without marinating, or exact measurements) and added fresh vegetables with decent results.

• love it!!

• This dish was AMAZING!! it was a delicious and aromatic mixture, but I didn't really taste the onions as well as I think I should have.  I suggest putting in the onion at the last 2 minutes and try to capture the thicker and crispier texture and taste of the onion.  Ragoons go really really well with this dish!

• well, mongolian beef is really good,my husband was love it and i will add this recipe for my favorite list, thank's

• This recipe was not too bad. My first time making a oriental dish, and turned out not too bad. Although, I do agree with a comment from above... next time I wont add so much soy sauce and more sugar. Thanks.

• Very good but I would use R. Pepper and quite a bit more, less sesame oil (too overpowering) and more onions.
