I love this level of explanation on velvetting the meat. I really have to give Jason props for going undercover at PF Changs, learning their ways, infiltrating their network and bringing back this recipe.
THANK YOU for finally displaying what it means to cut either against the grain or with grain. That part has confused me for years and your demonstration and explanation made it so easy to understand.
This recipe was BOMB. I just followed every step including the 24 hour alkaline marinade and the overnight velveting. Managed to get my hands on almost all the branded ingredients, except used a different mushroom dark soy sauce and a vegan oyster sauce. Sooooo good, thanks so much! Felt like I learned so much doing this (including the minced garlic hack) and the beef was so tender and tasty at the end. Thank you!!!
It should also be said, Mongolian Beef is one of the only dishes popularized by Chinese-American restaurants to cross the Pacific and be a major hit back in the PRC.
This recipe pretty much sums up the recipe for PF Changs Mongo Beef. I was a Sous Chef at PF and this recipe is as close as it gets! Good job on the video.
@@nancy9478 Lee Kum Kee has some gluten free soy sauce. You could probably sub in a mushroom-based sauce for the oyster sauce, e.g. vegan oyster sauce. Michiu made without any wheat exists, and failing that you should be able to find another suitable rice-based wine. Other than those ingredients, I don't see any problems making it gluten and seafood free.
What else can I say about Jason that I haven’t already said? This guy is an amazing resource of recipes, with incredible detail and explanations behind every step. Literally every item I’ve made via his instructional videos has turned out spot on. This recipe looks like another home run. Thanks again, Jason!
I love this channel because you put so much time and thought into your videos. You stand out from most recipe channels because you truly seek the best version of a recipe by trying out different brands of the same ingredients or test out slight variations in ingredients to see what produces the best result. It takes so much time and effort to do that and it doesn’t go unnoticed! I also appreciate how you show us the exact brand to buy and I like how you include both the teaspoons/ tablespoon/ cup measurements as well as the gram measurements which is most important to replicating the recipe. I absolutely love your cooking videos because of this! Keep up the good work Jason 😁
I normally am not a fan of any chain restaurants outside a couple burger ones. PF Chang's is pretty much one of my favorite restaurants period and I worked in restaurants for most of my life and a lot of really high end ones. I don't eat out very often at restaurants because I know I can cook better than most and have better ingredients most of the time, but I just really enjoy this restaurant's food. My super rich old boss used to use me as a valet and we would always stop there and have a vodka rocks before eating. Might be why I look at the place so fondly now.
Your videos always surprise me; I click on a random video of yours after having forgotten about your channel for a while, with a poker face, but you immediately give me something I was NOT expecting and I smile. Every time. I love being so delighted and surprised by a really focused, inspired, unique content creator. Such a great channel. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you for being yourself and coming at things from such an inspired, fascinating angle every time.
THANK YOU for explaining the baking soda's off flavor and to use it in a brine rather than dry. I get such a nasty off taste from velveting with it and NOW I understand how to avoid that! I am so happy! 🤣✌
I like that you show the exact ingredients to buy. I have a big Asian market nearby, but I get overwhelmed in there and I don’t know what to buy. I haven’t had this dish from PF Changs but I have tried it in other restaurants. Thanks for this recipe! Although it does seem like it will take a while, with all the marinating, velveting, re-hydrating garlic, etc.
Incredible video with such detail...its like you have a question and then you answer it so specifically just a few seconds later. It's like you know what the amateur cooks are going to ask before they ask and what the next questions will lead too. Excellent videos and bravo on the teaching and research.
Some additional info. The alkaline marinade is new from when I worked there but the "slurry" we used to velvet the proteins was egg, corn starch, white pepper, and some oil. Sesame is also a sesame/canola blend. But otherwise everything is about right on.
Yea I have an older employee handbook with the recipes and it doesn't mention egg whites. So I wonder if they changed it over time. My book is over 20yrs old.
Super nice. Learning all these techniques really builds my ambition but it also makes me appreciate all the fine ingredients that go into delicious Asian dishes.
I've been to Mongolia and yeah, not even remotely close to their cuisine. [Count me not a fan of Mongolian food 😆]. ☆ Love your level of detail especially for products! Your channel is what FoodTV used to be back in the day for technique. Teaching, not contests. Love it!
WOW! A detailed but direct to the point recipe showing exactly how to prepare this dish. Rare on UA-cam to have a well done video as this is. New Subscriber!
You are the best food channel ever for Asian foods man! Your explanations are EXACTLY the kind I need! You've answered every possible question and did comparisons and substitutions, what more can someone ask?
First comment ever on a recipe video but had to mention this guy absolutely nailed it and I really liked his analysis. Delicious meal tonight and will try another one of his videos soon.
Thank you Jason! Your video's are always so interesting as well as educational. I love Mongolian beef, but hate going out to restaurants. I will try this myself. We have an Asian market just a few miles down the road.
I made this today. Success!! Very tender and flavor very close. At $25 per order, a couple of more servings and I’ll more than break even on cost…..thank you, thank you, thank you. My family loves mongolian beef
THANK YOU, for trying all three types: potato starch, corn starch and the egg mixture for your marinade! Now, I won't waste time on the egg mixture and I won't have to wonder if, in choosing one of the two starches would the alternative have been better! Which, I must say, wondering is a bit nerve-wracking. So, again thank you -you could have taken the easy way out, and not gone to all the trouble, but you didn't!
Ahh -- good tip about using baking soda in the brine instead of directly. I was completely avoiding baking soda because I am sensitive to the awful taste it gives meat -- but I've never tried using it as a brine. Hmm - definitely something to try. Thanks.
Agreed, I worked at Pei Wei ages ago, but a lot of the dishes were exactly the same, the only difference that I can think of is that we used a corn starch slurry and did not add sesame oil directly into the meat instead we placed it on the outside edge of the wok and let it roll down and burn off a little
I just came across your channel by accident because UA-cam played the next video and your video was it. I got to say, you explain stuff so idiots like me can understand and i love to cook. So the way you explain stuff does help. You earned a subscribe from me, sir. I watch so many cooking shows and i just love to learn awesome techniques and learn new things. I love when people eat my food that i cook and praise it. It is such a nice feeling when they ask you to cook something because they enjoyed it. Plus, Mongolian beef is one of my favorite Chinese foods lol.
This dish was fabulous!!! Like a said in a previous post, Ive never been to a PFChangs and probably never will because I prefer home cooked food and I enjoy cooking. I had everything needed for this recipe and Its delicious. From the marinade, to the velveting to the finished dark sauce, this was so beefy and flavorful and tender. WOW!! Thank you so much for breaking it down for us. Incredible!!
I love how using baking soda as a marinade and potato starch to help with the cooking. I cooked it using my wok. l added leeks, mushrooms and carrots. I would suggest cutting the beef into very small pieces. I think almost any soy sauces will work. Great job doing this video!
What a fantastic video, dude. Instant subscribe. Love how detailed you get, the accompanying google doc, production quality - you've got it all. Thanks for sharing with us!
This just came up in my feed. Mr. Farmer, you are so ridiculously good at explaining and giving all the details, tips and tricks. Thank you. Looking forward to upping my game, Farmer style.
Omg I did it. This recipe is amazing. For the neutral oil I used coconut oil and it was a perfect addition. The pairing of the hint of coconut with a sprinkle of roasted seseme seeds was just fantastic. Better than pf changs if you ask me. Thank you for this recipe.
I didn't have the ingredients to make this recipe but I prepped the beef the same way and made beef and broccoli over white rice. That was some tender beef and did taste like a restaurant made it. I was impressed.
Dude, thank you for giving me step by step instructions to a great receipe. That was so detailed. Also told me why steps are done in such a way. Great job. I will now subscribe.
I am thrilled with your explanation and precise branding and the why. You don't know how many times I've walked over to the soy sauce section in my Asian markets and don't know what to pick. Thank you!
Omg omg omg!!! YES I HOPE YOURE DOING A SERIES ON PF CHANGS!! Jason. Please do Changs Spicy Chicken. I've been searching for an accurate recipe for years. No luck. Thank you again for your fantastic work. I've shared your channel with all my friends!
@@farmageddon ahhh oh my gosh thank you for the reply! It is one of their more popular dishes on the menu next to the Mongolian Beef. Ive seen people mention it is strictly coated with potato starch....but the one time I tried that method it was not accurate.... I've made a few of your recipes so far and they are always on point ❤️. Thank you again for your time and consideration!!!
Your Benihana chicken fried rice has been a favourite here and now I can’t wait to try this one! As usual, a well put together and very informative video! Thanks for all you do mate it’s much appreciated!
Let me just say I made this recipe last week and I didn’t rinse my meat and I thought it tasted phenomenal. However, when I made it again last night I rinsed the meat and let me tell you, it really does make a HUGE difference .super tender and the flavor really seemed to penetrate the meat.
Just made this and yea the recipe is so spot on. Even the weird oily saucey residue left over on the plate when you are done eating looks exactly like at pf changs. Only thing I would change for the next time I make it is to fry the meat a little longer, maybe 2.5mins and more scallion tops, they are delicious. Bravo sir.
I made this with some changes and it came out really good :) will def make again. changes I made (only because its what i had at home) -used skirt steak -used all one type of soy sauce, no low sodium, mushroom or dark (just regular kikkoman) -shaoxing wine instead of michiu -used fish sauce instead of oyster -minced garlic instead of dehydrated -marinaded for 3ish hours also, i still got that off flavor because of the baking soda... usually when i use baking soda for tenderizing, i rinse the beef really really well after, I recommend doing that after your marinade
Incredible recipe and explanations- just made this and am super impressed by the flavor and accuracy of the recipe. If Mr.Farmer ever writes a recipe book, I’ll be first in line to buy. Thank you!
Wow. Best cooking video I've seen -- and I've seen A TON! Exceptional explanations, comparisons, options/substitutions. I'm seriously, well, gobsmacked! Well done and a subscription completely earned! Looking forward to watching more and thank you!
I just gathered all the ingredients for this recipe! As a seasoned "chinese by feel" home-chef, who makes a very sought-after (without a recipe) mongolian beef, I had trouble recreating my family's favorite versions because every time the dish would taste slightly different. Against everything I believe in, I'm setting out my brand new measuring spoons, and want to see if I can recreate this! Will update!
@@alexrekzu4079 I feel the soy marinade process was a bit wasteful and yielded a beef that was a little bit soggy, and the patting dry of the beef after straining from the marinade was cumbersome. The finished product was delicious, and very similar to PF changs! I, however, will continue my “lazy” velvet into where I toss the beef, a smidge of baking soda, potato starch, an egg white, a splash of cooking wine and soy sauce, and a dash white pepper and mix this battered meat around (rest for 1hr), then proceed to fry or “pass through the oil”
I do this recipe a lot. I hydrate some chineses dried red peppers ( about 2-3) then mince them into the dark sauce. Also, I like the look and texture of some roasted sesame seeds- which I add at the same time as the sesame oil. Yum
I think if you can successfully reverse engineer a secret recipe, you should win the rights to the trademark. This man is basically living Plankton's dream life.
@@AltimaNEOI find it highly unlikely that literally anyone could reverse engineer a recipe down not only every single specific ingredient and its quantity, but also every single brand. I bet some masters could potentially do some of that, but not all of it. No way no how.
Praise you Jason! I love your channel for a few reasons but one at the top of the list is, details, details, details and magnificent recipes! 🙏🙏 I can't thank you enough ☺☺ Could you please make a video on Spring Rolls with meat and veggies (smooth thin wrappers like Lumpia).
I just made this, Jason - and.... wow. It was so good! I haven't had the PF Chang's version in probably 25 years so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it doesn't matter, because it was absolutely amazing. The only differences for me were that I used the white parts of the green onion along with the garlic to flavor the oil (I had to use them for something). I also avoid low-sodium soy sauce and I always have Pearl River Bridge light soy sauce on-hand. It did leave the dish a _tiny_ bit on the salty side, but not enough to hurt it at all. I might use a touch less in the marinade next time and slightly less in the dark sauce (with some extra dark soy sauce to make up for it.) +1 for the LKK Premium Oyster sauce, too - there's really no comparison. A+ recipe - I made enough for two days of leftovers, but I'm super tempted to just eat the whole thing right now.
Hey Jason Farmer!, Oh!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, thank you so much I was craving this for a long time!! Also thank you for perfect timing!👍👍✌️. Right now (here in Phoenix, AZ), it's still morning so gives me enough time to hit the grocery store (pick up ALL the items and ingredients) and make it for dinner tonight! LITERALLY tonight have some great fantastic food for dinner!!!👍👍✌️
Thank you!! I'm trying to get to a more consistent uploading schedule. I just put so much research into each dish, that it's hard to do more than 1 a month. I need to hire out for my editing or maybe get some research help. It's a tough nut to crack!
@@farmageddon i feel you 😅 do it all on your own is so time consuming.. and I believe you are not full time on yt. Outsourcing editing should free up a lot of time but another question is how to find an editor who will do it the way you would do it.. especially when you put so much effort in 1 video..
Ok, I have never eaten at PF Changs (these kinds of places are like an hour away from me nor do I have disposable cash to eat out). I seldom eat beef and tend to eat A LOT of pork because, living in Iowa, the pork prices are incredible cheap ($1.99 a lb on sale for boneless pork loin I can trim and slice for recipes - I only have $300 a month for food). That being said, I did this recipe with pork, having no idea how this was going to taste or even how it was supposed to taste lol.. all I can say, is this was phenomenal!! The flavors lended itself quite well to pork and I am just beside myself knowing I have something new to add to my recipe rotation (also did your fried rice and it is so delicious)!! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!

Don't change a thing Jason, your videos are great. Explanatory and entirely useful.
THANK YOU for finally displaying what it means to cut either against the grain or with grain. That part has confused me for years and your demonstration and explanation made it so easy to understand.
This recipe was BOMB. I just followed every step including the 24 hour alkaline marinade and the overnight velveting. Managed to get my hands on almost all the branded ingredients, except used a different mushroom dark soy sauce and a vegan oyster sauce.
Sooooo good, thanks so much! Felt like I learned so much doing this (including the minced garlic hack) and the beef was so tender and tasty at the end. Thank you!!!
Just curious why you would use vegan oyster sauce but still add beef?
It should also be said, Mongolian Beef is one of the only dishes popularized by Chinese-American restaurants to cross the Pacific and be a major hit back in the PRC.

Dude, thank you for giving me step by step instructions to a great receipe. That was so detailed. Also told me why steps are done in such a way. Great job. I will now subscribe.
I am thrilled with your explanation and precise branding and the why. You don't know how many times I've walked over to the soy sauce section in my Asian markets and don't know what to pick. Thank you!
this is literally my favorite pf changs dish
Omg omg omg!!! YES I HOPE YOURE DOING A SERIES ON PF CHANGS!! Jason. Please do Changs Spicy Chicken.
I've been searching for an accurate recipe for years. No luck. Thank you again for your fantastic work. I've shared your channel with all my friends!
I’ll look into the spicy chicken. I’ve never had it before, but it sounds good!
@@farmageddon ahhh oh my gosh thank you for the reply! It is one of their more popular dishes on the menu next to the Mongolian Beef.
Ive seen people mention it is strictly coated with potato starch....but the one time I tried that method it was not accurate....
I've made a few of your recipes so far and they are always on point ❤️. Thank you again for your time and consideration!!!
Another really good video 👍🏻 I hope it helps people out in the future to become better cooks themselves.
Your Benihana chicken fried rice has been a favourite here and now I can’t wait to try this one! As usual, a well put together and very informative video! Thanks for all you do mate it’s much appreciated!
Thank you!! I sincerely appreciate you!
Let me just say I made this recipe last week and I didn’t rinse my meat and I thought it tasted phenomenal. However, when I made it again last night I rinsed the meat and let me tell you, it really does make a HUGE difference .super tender and the flavor really seemed to penetrate the meat.
Just made this and yea the recipe is so spot on. Even the weird oily saucey residue left over on the plate when you are done eating looks exactly like at pf changs. Only thing I would change for the next time I make it is to fry the meat a little longer, maybe 2.5mins and more scallion tops, they are delicious. Bravo sir.
Nice! Glad you liked it!
I made this with some changes and it came out really good :) will def make again.
changes I made (only because its what i had at home)
-used skirt steak
-used all one type of soy sauce, no low sodium, mushroom or dark (just regular kikkoman)
-shaoxing wine instead of michiu
-used fish sauce instead of oyster
-minced garlic instead of dehydrated
-marinaded for 3ish hours
also, i still got that off flavor because of the baking soda... usually when i use baking soda for tenderizing, i rinse the beef really really well after, I recommend doing that after your marinade
i now trust your recipes... pho is next... and for that i will make sure i get all of the specific ingredients🤩
I live in the US but have never been to a PF Changs..however, this looks solid and Im making it today. Thanks so much! ❤
Incredible recipe and explanations- just made this and am super impressed by the flavor and accuracy of the recipe. If Mr.Farmer ever writes a recipe book, I’ll be first in line to buy. Thank you!
Wow. Best cooking video I've seen -- and I've seen A TON! Exceptional explanations, comparisons, options/substitutions. I'm seriously, well, gobsmacked! Well done and a subscription completely earned! Looking forward to watching more and thank you!
You're a certified hood classic Jason! These recipes kick ass!
I just gathered all the ingredients for this recipe! As a seasoned "chinese by feel" home-chef, who makes a very sought-after (without a recipe) mongolian beef, I had trouble recreating my family's favorite versions because every time the dish would taste slightly different. Against everything I believe in, I'm setting out my brand new measuring spoons, and want to see if I can recreate this! Will update!
how was it?
@@alexrekzu4079 I feel the soy marinade process was a bit wasteful and yielded a beef that was a little bit soggy, and the patting dry of the beef after straining from the marinade was cumbersome. The finished product was delicious, and very similar to PF changs! I, however, will continue my “lazy” velvet into where I toss the beef, a smidge of baking soda, potato starch, an egg white, a splash of cooking wine and soy sauce, and a dash white pepper and mix this battered meat around (rest for 1hr), then proceed to fry or “pass through the oil”
@@raynasaberI’ll try that too, thank you
You're a legend man! Love your content! Huge fan from Colombia! You should try our tres leches cake! 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
I do this recipe a lot. I hydrate some chineses dried red peppers ( about 2-3) then mince them into the dark sauce. Also, I like the look and texture of some roasted sesame seeds- which I add at the same time as the sesame oil. Yum
Incredible amount of research, cooking techniques and filming go into all your videos. End result will be as delicious as yours if you pay attention!
Thank you! I sincerely appreciate your kind words!
I think if you can successfully reverse engineer a secret recipe, you should win the rights to the trademark. This man is basically living Plankton's dream life.
Is he revenge engineering, or is he an employee with insider knowledge?
"...This man is basically living Plankton's dream life." 🤣🤣🤣
i now own the rights to lemonade 😎
@@AltimaNEOI find it highly unlikely that literally anyone could reverse engineer a recipe down not only every single specific ingredient and its quantity, but also every single brand. I bet some masters could potentially do some of that, but not all of it. No way no how.
You uh... Sure he didn't just ask them or one of their cooks?
Love your work mate. Reckon I'll cook this tomorrow.
Praise you Jason! I love your channel for a few reasons but one at the top of the list is, details, details, details and magnificent recipes! 🙏🙏 I can't thank you enough ☺☺ Could you please make a video on Spring Rolls with meat and veggies (smooth thin wrappers like Lumpia).
Why, thank you! I'll put Spring Rolls on my research list!!
This was such a professional presentation. Instant new subscriber.
Thank you! I sincerely appreciate your support!
Yet another banger, Jason!
I just made this, Jason - and.... wow. It was so good! I haven't had the PF Chang's version in probably 25 years so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it doesn't matter, because it was absolutely amazing.
The only differences for me were that I used the white parts of the green onion along with the garlic to flavor the oil (I had to use them for something). I also avoid low-sodium soy sauce and I always have Pearl River Bridge light soy sauce on-hand. It did leave the dish a _tiny_ bit on the salty side, but not enough to hurt it at all. I might use a touch less in the marinade next time and slightly less in the dark sauce (with some extra dark soy sauce to make up for it.)
+1 for the LKK Premium Oyster sauce, too - there's really no comparison.
A+ recipe - I made enough for two days of leftovers, but I'm super tempted to just eat the whole thing right now.
That's amazing, Roddie! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Jason Farmer!, Oh!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, thank you so much I was craving this for a long time!! Also thank you for perfect timing!👍👍✌️. Right now (here in Phoenix, AZ), it's still morning so gives me enough time to hit the grocery store (pick up ALL the items and ingredients) and make it for dinner tonight! LITERALLY tonight have some great fantastic food for dinner!!!👍👍✌️
you can really do this with any cut of meat (within reason). try flap, top round, chuck, etc. You can do stir fry with almost anything!
@@farmageddon Again thanks for the great recipe.👍👍✌️🍶🍶
Jason has eyes and ears everywhere , there’s nowhere to hide.
The contrast of beef and green onions is super eye catching! Jason, why don't you post at least every 2 weeks?
Thank you!! I'm trying to get to a more consistent uploading schedule. I just put so much research into each dish, that it's hard to do more than 1 a month. I need to hire out for my editing or maybe get some research help. It's a tough nut to crack!
@@farmageddon i feel you 😅 do it all on your own is so time consuming.. and I believe you are not full time on yt. Outsourcing editing should free up a lot of time but another question is how to find an editor who will do it the way you would do it.. especially when you put so much effort in 1 video..
SUBSCRIBED!!!!! Such a great presentation. Thank you. Can't wait to try it.
This was my favorite dish to get when I worked at Pei Wei, I'm definitely trying out this recipe.
Ok, I have never eaten at PF Changs (these kinds of places are like an hour away from me nor do I have disposable cash to eat out). I seldom eat beef and tend to eat A LOT of pork because, living in Iowa, the pork prices are incredible cheap ($1.99 a lb on sale for boneless pork loin I can trim and slice for recipes - I only have $300 a month for food). That being said, I did this recipe with pork, having no idea how this was going to taste or even how it was supposed to taste lol.. all I can say, is this was phenomenal!! The flavors lended itself quite well to pork and I am just beside myself knowing I have something new to add to my recipe rotation (also did your fried rice and it is so delicious)!! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!
That's amazing! I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe!
It's always awesome to see someone with some sort of Chalino Sánchez parafernalia, chingón el compa Jason Farmer!
We used to jam Chalino at a restaurant I worked at years ago! Dude is a legend!
