This was DELICIOUS! Followed recipe for marinade exactly. Used other readers suggestion and simmered stew meat for about an hour in the marinade. Served over rice - YUMMY! Can't wait to actually use it for a grilled steak. I'm taking another readers suggestion and trying it with chicken. I, too, used regular soy sauce. Will use low sodium next time , as it was just a bit salty.

Thanks for posting this, Toni! Our local Super Suppers just went under so I can't get this from there anymore. I used to get it from the freezer section so I never saw the recipe. This dish tastes EXACTLY like the Mongolian Lamb from P.F. Chang's. I know, I know, this dish is for beef and I'm comparing it to lamb. But the flavor is exactly the same. So anyone craving P.F. Chang's OR Super Suppers will benefit from this recipe.

Excellent. I'm new to Flank Steak, but am really enjoying the different ways it is used. The combination in this recipe is perfect for us. I'm not sure how large my steak was, but after 2 days of marinating, I cut it in half length wise and proceeded with the freezing directions for one half. I sliced the half left very thin at an angle and stir-fried it with red and green peppers, carrots and red onion. I made another serving of the marinade, diluting it with some water, and served that on top of the cooked meat and veggies over rice. Absolutely excellent. Now I have quick stir-fry meat in the freezer for a quick meal next time. Thanks Toni :)

<p>I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. <br /> <br />I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. <br /> <br /> <br />Some of my favorite public cookbooks include:</p>
