Spicy Mongolian Beef

---

This recipe is nice and spicy. The version below has an average amount of chili in it, but if you are like us and love a bit of heat you can add another couple of spoons of sambal oelek. Better yet, go crazy with some sriracha sauce or some fresh chilies. This recipe is adapted from an australian women's weekly cookbook. Update: changed the cut of meat after the first review to make it more relevant to north america.
