wow, 2 lbs meat for 4 servings! I'd say that's more like 8 unless you're serving pro football players after a game...

 Him Over There (China) says:
There is nothing authentically Chinese about this recipe. It is American.

Sesame oil is NEVER used in marinades. It is valued for its flavour and aroma, which are both highly volatile and disappear when heated. It is only added as a condiment after the dish is completed and then off the heat.
