How to Make Mongolian Lamb

  1. In a large bowl, combine all marinade ingredients (see below).
  2. Add the lamb to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Remove the lamb from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
  4. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the lamb to the hot skillet and brown on all sides. This will take approximately 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add the sliced onions and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Pour in the soy sauce, honey, and remaining marinade. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the lamb simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and tender.
  9. Stir in the green onions before serving.
  10. Serve hot over rice.
