Mongolian Beef- (for Jan)
Tastes just like Pei Wei's Mongolian Beef, got the recipe from recipezaar

Thinly slice partially frozen beef and toss in cornstarch. Let sit.
Heat sauce pan over medium-low heat, add 2 tsp oil, 1/2 tsp ground ginger and 1 Tbsp chopped garlic. Add 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup water with 1 Tbsp cornstarch mixed in, and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Increase to medium heat and boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand. Heat oil and saute beef for 2 minutes. Remove from pain and drain oil from pan. Place meat back into pan, add sauce, sliced green onion, and mushroom caps (halved). Serve over rice.

ENJOY!
