P.F. CHANG'S MONGOLIAN BEEF
Secret Restaurant Recipes
P.F. CHANG'S MONGOLIAN BEEF:
Here is another great recipe:
Sauce
2 tsp veg oil
1/2 tsp. minced ginger
1 tbsp. chopped garlic
1/2 c. soy sauce
1/2 c. water
3/4 c. dark brown sugar
Meat
1 c. vegetable oil
1 pound flank steak
1/4 c. cornstarch
1 large green onions
1. Make the sauce by heating 2 tsp. veg oil in med saucepan over med/low heat. Don't get the oil too hot or you'll get a major splatter when adding liquids. Add ginger and garlic to the pan and quickly add the soy sauce and water before the garlic scorches. Dissolve the brown sugar in the sauce, then raise the heat to med and boil the sauce for 2-3 min. or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
2. Slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4 inch thick slices. Tilt the blade of you knife at about a 45 deg angle to the top of the steak so that you get wider cuts.
3. Dip the steak pieces into the cornstarch to apply a very thin dusting to both sides of each piece. Let the beef sit for about 10 min. so that the cornstarch sticks.
4. As the beef sits, heat up one cup of oil in a wok or skillet. Add the beef to the oil and saute for just 2 min. or until the beef just begins to darken on the edges. Stir the meat around a little so that it cooks evenly. After a couple min., use a large slotted spoon to take the meat out onto paper towels, then pour the oil out of the wok. Put the pan back over the heat, dump the meat back into it and simmer for one minute. Add the sauce, cook for one min while stirring, then add all the green onions. Cook for 1 more min., then remove the beef and onions with slotted spoon to serving plate. Leave excess sauce behind in the pan.

Olive Garden Alfredo Fettuccine
Secret Restaurant Recipes
Olive Garden Alfredo Fettuccine:
I tried copying the Alfredo sauce recipe from Olive Garden many times, but failed. I tried different cheeses, different butter, heavy cream, light cream, but never even came close. I searched everywhere for this recipe, but either came to dead ends or was asked to pay more than I thought the recipe was worth. After many searches, I finally found it. And to my surprise, the missing ingredient was cream cheese. Who would have thought to put cream cheese in Alfredo sauce. Obviously not me. Anyway here is the fantastic Alfredo Sauce recipe from Olive Garden:
1 8oz. pkg. Cream Cheese
1 8oz. carton heavy cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
1 cube real butter
1/2 t garlic puree
In large saucepan combine cream cheese, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, butter, and garlic puree stirring constantly until smooth. For even better results, saute boneless chicken breast strips and dump them into the sauce. Pour sauce over pasta of your choice and enjoy. You can always go lite by using low-cal ingredients, but that just takes the fun out of it.
For more secret recipes, I came across a pretty good web site that has a ton of tasty, guarded secrets. Here is the link to more Secret Restaurant Recipes.
