It's spiced up with a little cayenne pepper, and flavoured with garlic, ginger, and green onions. Easier Mongolian Beef is a great choice for a quick and flavourful meal. It's perfect for those nights when you don't want to spend hours in the kitchen, but still want to enjoy a delicious homemade meal.
