Mongolian Beef Suzanne Style

What happens when you have a terrible craving for Chinese food and there isn’t a decent Chinese food place to be found? Necessity is the Mother of Invention and yes, that makes me The Mother. Shut it. You know who you are. I have to say that this is probably as good as it gets for us. Great flavor, easy to put together, and oh – did I mention I made it from leftovers? *insert evil laughter* . . . . . Even better! The recipe makes enough for 4, easily. It made 2 large portions on 2 different nights for us. It was just as good, if not better, leftover. I love leftovers!
