This recipe is one I cooked up at home and made with a copycat recipe for their chow mein noodles. I have a recipes for that as well which I will share with you next Sunday in our copycat recipe event. These two go very well together and taste just like the restaurant.
I used a cut of Wagyu beef that was in strips already. But you can use a good top sirloin steak. Or if you like you could so for some rib-eye. Just use nice tender steak (Wagyu definitely is). The veggies are simple, using only bell pepper and onion, which is their way. Feel free to shake things up by adding whichever vegetables you like. I think broccoli would be fantastic.
Panda Express also has rice, but never get that. I always like the simple chow mein noodles (or lo mein). I could eat that by itself it is so good.
