While Mongolian Beef usually uses flank steak, this noodle version uses ground beef to keep things super quick and economical. I don’t know about you, but I generally have a pound of ground beef stashed somewhere in the freezer so this recipe is an easy one to rely on when you’ve run out of time to plan or shop for dinner.
