Mongolian Beef

So D made this. He said it was easy. We both liked the flavors although he wished there were peppers in it. Also we both wished it was a better cut of meat. He said the package of sirloin I got stated it was for pot roast, so it was tough. I just bought the package of steak that looked like flank that said sirloin. So I don't know (he said he would have bought the same one).

Anyway, we both liked it. We had with rice and broccoli.
