Ingredients
Mongolian Beef
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil , divided
- 2 pounds (900g) chuck steak (braising steak) , cubed
- 3 bell peppers , sliced
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp minced ginger
- 1 tsp Sriracha
- ½ cup (120ml) Tamari or Soy Sauce
- ⅓ cup (65g) Sukrin Gold or brown sugar
- 1 beef stock cube , crumbled
- 5 spring onions
- ½ tsp xanthan gum (to thicken sauce) or see notes
To serve
- 1 red chili , sliced to serve
- 5 spring onions , sliced thinly
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet and brown the beef, in batches, over high heat. Allow the beef to get a good color before setting aside in a bowl.
- Add a splash of water to the pan and scrape any browned bits loose with a wooden spoon. Pour any liquid from the pan into the bowl.
- Add the remaining oil, onions and half the sliced peppers into the slow cooker and stir over low heat for a few minutes, if your slow cooker allows for searing.
- Stir in the minced garlic, ginger and Sriracha. Add the brown sugar (I used Sukrin Gold) and Tamari and stock cube.
- Add the beef into the slow cooker, cover and cook on LOW for 7 hours or on HIGH for 5-6.
- Stir in the green onion and remaining sliced peppers. Sprinkle with the Xanthan gum and cook on HIGH for an extra 30 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice, garnished with more green onions.
