Mongolian beef is a popular Chinese-American dish consisting of sliced beef, stir-fried with vegetables, and a savory brown sauce. The dish is often served over rice or noodles and is known for its bold flavors and tender beef.

To make Mongolian beef, thinly sliced beef is first marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, cornstarch, and other seasonings for at least 30 minutes. The beef is then stir-fried with garlic, ginger, and sliced onions until browned and tender. A sauce made with soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, and other seasonings is added to the pan and simmered until thickened. The dish is then garnished with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.

While the dish is Mongolian beef, it has no connection to traditional Mongolian cuisine. Instead, it is believed to have originated in Chinese-American restaurants in the United States.

Mongolian beef is a popular Chinese-American dish consisting of sliced beef, stir-fried with vegetables, and a savory brown sauce.

Ingredients

1/2 kilo flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water

In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the beef to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until browned and crispy on the outside. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens.
Add the beef back to the skillet and toss to coat it with the sauce. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the beef is heated through and the sauce is evenly distributed.
Transfer the Mongolian Beef to a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
Enjoy your delicious Mongolian Beef!

Beef Pochero Recipe

This Beef Pochero Recipe is a warm and hearty stew that everyone in the family will love.

What is Pochero?

Puchero is a type of stew originally from Spain, prepared in Yucatán, Mexico, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Perú, south of Brazil, the Philippines, and Spain, specifically the autonomous communities of Andalusia and the Canary Islands. The Spanish word “puchero” originally meant an earthenware pot, before being extended to mean any vessel, and then the dish cooked in it.
The dish is essentially equivalent to the cocido of Spain but lacking colorants (such as paprika), using local ingredients which vary from one region to another. In Spain chickpeas are widely used. Puchero, cocido, and the sancocho eaten in Colombia, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Puerto Rico, are essentially similar dishes.
In Philippine cuisine, puchero (Spanish: Pochero; Tagalog: putsero) is a dish composed of beef chunks stewed with saba bananas (or plantains). The dish may also include potatoes or sweet potatoes, chorizos de Bilbao, bok choy, leeks, chickpeas, cabbage and tomato sauce. Other versions replace beef with chicken or pork.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puchero

As you can see above, puchero is essentially a beef stew. So for this recipe, we will be using beef.

This Beef Pochero Recipe is a warm and hearty stew that everyone in the family will love.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp oil
1/4 cup onion, red, sliced
350 g beef, round, cut into serving portions
3 cups water
1 pouch DEL MONTE Filipino Style Tomato Sauce (200g)
120 g potato, cut into chunks
2 pcs banana, saba, semi-ripe, peeled and sliced diagonally
1/4 cup garbanzos, cooked
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 bunch pechay Tagalog

Directions

Sauté onion and beef for 5 minutes. Add water and DEL MONTE Filipino Style Tomato Sauce. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer over low heat until beef is almost tender.
Add potatoes, saba, and garbanzos. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes or until potatoes and saba are tender.
Add pechay. Simmer for 5 minutes or until pechay is cooked.

Notes

This Beef Pochero dish is rich in iron for making red blood cells that carry oxygen around the body. It is also rich in vitamin A which promotes normal growth and development.
Choose relatively cheaper cuts of beef that are tougher and have connective tissue or “litid” like round, kenchi, or even kalitiran. When cooked slowly, these beef cuts turn tender and the “litid” melts in your mouth.

Easy Filipino Style Spaghetti Recipe

This Easy Filipino Style Spaghetti Recipe is a Filipino adaptation of Italian spaghetti. It has a sweet sauce, usually made from tomato sauce sweetened with brown sugar or banana ketchup. It is topped with sliced hot dogs, ground meat, and grated cheese. It is regarded as comfort food in Philippine cuisine. It is served on almost any special occasion, especially on children’s birthdays.

Filipino spaghetti is cheap and easy to make, which is part of the reason for its popularity. First, minced garlic and onions are sautéed in oil in a large pan until they caramelize. The ground meat is added and cooked until it is brown. Sliced hot dogs are then added. It can be replaced with other processed meat like smoked longganisa sausages, ham, Vienna sausages, meatballs, luncheon meat, spam, or corned beef. It is cooked for a few more minutes before the tomato sauce mixture is poured into the pan. Some people use store-bought spaghetti sauce as the base for convenience.
