For the best BBQ grilling experience, I highly recommend the famous luscious Chinese delicacy, the Mongolian BBQ. It’s made of grilled meat, grilled seafood, grilled vegetables, grilled everything!
It is served with noodles and a variety of amazing sauces.

Some tips to consider when making this recipe
- Beef (preferably the ribeye) and lamb are the best types of meat to use for this recipe, as it requires high quality, tender and marbled cuts. Pork, chicken, or seafood can also be used. As for vegetarians, Tofu is a good alternative.
- To easily slice the meat into thin slices, Freeze the meat prior to cutting for 1 hour, or let the frozen meat thaw for 45 minutes before slicing on a grain.
- You can substitute the Mongolian sauce with Teriyaki, Thai peanut, Dragon sauce, Szechuan sauce, or barbeque sauce.
- It’s advised to prepare your homemade sauce a day prior to eating it to let the flavors merge together and be more flavorful.
- Using an electric griddle takes this grilling experience to a whole new level. However, stir-frying on the stove works fine as well.
