Ingredients
Mongolian Beef
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil* I use avocado oil + extra if needed
- 2 teaspoons garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger freshly grated
- ¼ - ½ cup low sodium soy sauce scant, be sure you use low sodium soy sauce or replacement such as Liquid Amino's or Coconut Amino's so it's not too salty.
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1 pound shaved beef I love Trader Joe’s shaved steak
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch non-GMO
- 3-6 scallions trimmed and thinly sliced
Serving Suggestions
- red pepper flakes
- sesame seeds
- steamed broccoli roasted veggies, riced cauliflower
- Cooked brown or white rice for serving
- Or try Udon Soba or Rice Noodles
Instructions
- Toss shaved steak in a mixing bowl coating evenly with corn starch, set aside.
- In a small saucepan heat a few teaspoons of oil, adding garlic and ginger sauting for 30 seconds. Add soy sauce, brown sugar and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and sauce is reduced slightly. About 4 minutes, set aside.
- In a large skillet (love my ), over medium-high heat, adding a little more oil if needed, saute the shaved steak in batches, not crowding the pan. The shaved steak will cook quickly, flip the pieces as they brown, should only take about 2 minutes. Remove the finished steak to a plate or paper towel lined tray, repeat with all of the meat, adding oil if necessary.
- TIP | make sure the oil returns to a nice high temperature each time before adding more beef. I like to remove mine just as it’s getting a little crispy on the edges, but still pink in the middle, it will finish cooking later.
- If any extra oil in pan, pour off or use paper towels to remove. Return skillet to medium-high heat, return all of the beef to the pan, pour the Mongolian sauce over and toss to coat. Add green onions, stirring constantly about 3 minutes until meat is reheated and sauce is thickened and glazes the meat. Serve over rice, with some steamed broccoli, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes
- *Replace up to 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil with toasted sesame oil.
- Mongolian Chicken Recipe | This recipe is so delicious with chicken too! Tip to get your chicken extra thin, freeze for 20-30 minutes then slice.
- This recipe easily doubles for a larger family.Crockpot Instructions: I recommend that you still brown your beef in a skillet; however you may just toss it in the slow cooker, mix sauce ingredients and pour over. Cover and cook on low 4-5 hours, high 2-3 hours.
- Air Fryer | Toss the meat frequently in the air fryer basket until it is as crisp as you like, then add it to the skillet to coat it with the Mongolian sauce you’ve prepared.
- Instant Pot Instructions | Brown the shaved steak on the SAUTE mode in batches, once browned. Turn off Instant Pot, deglaze pan with a little water if needed. Return beef to the Instant Pot, mix sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and pour over the shaved beef. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, turn the valve to close, Pressure Cook on High for 6-8 minutes. Use the Instant Release method, as soon as time is up, stirring in sliced green onions and sprinkling on red pepper flakes and/or sesame seeds.

- Keto Mongolian Beef | It’s easy to swap out the rice for cauliflower rice. It’s delicious and you probably won’t notice a lot of difference.
- Instead of cornstarch, use almond flour. It will make a lovely thick sauce with a great flavor.
