Great recipe. Two changes that I made was olive oil instead of the sesame oil and for the meat I used a Filet. I could have used a little more meat but otherwise this was very good and can't wait to make it again.

This dish was good,simple,the sauce was very flavorful. Next time I think I'll add some fresh garlic.

I followed the recipe exactly. The meat was tender and my family loved it. Might not be exactly like the restaurant version but still very good. Next time I might try some of the suggestions of other people reviewing the recipe.

Maybe I bought the wrong cut of meat but my meat was very tough. The sauce was okay, but it wasn't anything special. I'm surprised this got such good reviews.

This was a wonderful, easy recipe enjoyed by the whole family. I love how healthy it is compared to the traditional Mongolian Beef fried in oil. I added a full cup of chicken broth and a bit more hoisin sauce-(I love hoisin)! I think adding fresh ginger and garlic to this recipe is a must! Thanks!
