Mongolian Grill is originally from ancient Mongolia. Mongolia is a vast plateau in East Central Asia covering more than 1,000,000 square mile.

​

According to the legend, when the mighty Genghis Khan was expanding his empire after a long day of battle, he and his warriors would set up a tent, make a campfire, and then sit around the campfire to prepare food. Short of cooking utensils, the warriors used their swords, daggers, and other weapons to thinly slice the meat. They would use their shields to lay the meat on, and would place the shields over the the campfire. Meat was prepared with their own vegetables and mongolian seasoning; which was the origin of the Mongolian Grill.
