Sunday night dinner in some houses is a day long affair. From the shopping to the chopping to the cooking to the eating, Sunday dinner is an event and not just a meal. Once in a while I spend the day cooking for Sunday dinner. It is not that frequent in my kitchen because I usually find another activity like today's chore of finally putting away the last of the Christmas decorations. They actually only made it to my basement which now looks like a bomb went off at the Christmas Tree Shop. Out of sight out of mind. I'll save the organization for another day.
My February issue of Cuisine at Home arrived in my mailbox a week ago, and I bookmarked a stir fry recipe. I made a few changes and we dined on Mongolian Sirloin Steak tonight. This stir fry with thinly sliced sirloin steak, red peppers and edamame, includes extra sauce so diners can add more to their portion if they so desire. Just look how much the recipe made.
Make sure you use a large saute pan for cooking the beef and vegetables. This recipe makes enough for 6 servings plus some for tomorrow's lunch.
We ate in shifts tonight. Mongolian Sirloin Steak is a perfect dish to make ahead and let your family dish up their dinner on their own. I enjoyed it so much that I'm thinking about raiding the refrigerator now to have a little more. No. I'm going to have a couple servings of the rice pudding I made this afternoon. YUM!

Love these flavors and I like the addition of black sesame seeds.
ooohhhh this looks fantastic!
I'm always looking for new beef dishes, especially ones that are good (or better!) heated up the next day. Thanks for posting.
Woo Hoo! You did it! All 12 days of meals. I enjoyed reading all of them and now I have some I need to try. I am still trying to get out from under Christmas!
This looks great, I have a flank steak in the freezer that I'm not sure what to do with. I think this recipe would work nicely!
That looks wonderful!
Thank you so much for visiting me. Now I know where to go for great food :)
