RECIPE: Mongolian Beef
Mongolian Beef with Misty Brook Farm Shaved Steak
Shaved steak is the highlighted Misty Brook product in this delicious meal. This thinly sliced cut of beef is most often seared hot and shoved between two hoagie rolls, dropped into a near-boiling bowl of Vietnamese pho, or served like we do here: in a savory, Asian-inspired sauce with veggies and rice. If you don’t have our shaved steak on hand, place some flank steak in the freezer and slice thinly when it is almost frozen thorugh.
