Answers:
The name of this dish is somewhat misleading, because neither the ingredients used (besides the meat) nor the preparation methods applied have anything in common with traditional Mongolian cuisine!. The term "Mongolian" is rather meant to imply a vaguely "exotic" type of food!.
Mongolian beef is a dish served in Chinese-American restaurants consisting of sliced beef, typically flank steak, and stir-fried with vegetables in a sweet and savory brown sauce, usually made with hoisin sauce!. The beef is most commonly paired with scallions or mixed vegetables and is often spicy!. Most often, the dish is served over crispy fried cellophane noodles or steamed rice!.
So I would say America!.
Robert Hsi of San Francisco claims that when he started the original Dynasty Restaurant (no longer in existence) in the Marina District of San Francisco in the mid 1970's he could not decide on the name of a beef stir-fry dish he had designed; so he named Mongolian Beef; he claims he had never heard of Mongolian Beef before on either coast of the US!. He also admits that the dish has nothing in common with Mongolian cuisine!. Hsi may very well be the creator of Mongolian Beef as we know it, although there are many variations of the dish!.

The all-you-can-eat type Mongolian BBQ places where you stuff your food into a bowl before handing it to the guy behind the counter is an American invention!.
However, the cooking surface and sticks are from Mongolia!.!.!.sort of!. The actual stove isn't that large!. Meanwhile, the ingredients, are mainly Chinese!. From what I understand, actual Mongolian cooking resembles shish kebabs, with meat being eaten off the skewers used to roast it!.
The word barbecue (BBQ) is actually from the Carribean islands, and refers to a slow cooking method, usually involving burying the meat in a fire pit where it cooks for several hours!. However, nowadays, many Americans think you simply have to slather something with a red sauce to make "BBQ", which I'm sure annoys the folks in Southern states like Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
