Description

Imagine tender strips of beef, each piece glistening with a rich, dark glaze, infused with the warmth of ginger and the subtle tang of garlic. This reimagined Mongolian beef brings the savory-sweet flavors you crave, tailored for a satisfying and wholesome meal. The beef is lightly coated to achieve a delightful crispness as it meets the hot pan, ensuring each morsel has a pleasing bite.

The magic happens as the beef mingles with a carefully crafted sauce, designed to thicken and cling beautifully without the need for traditional starches. The aromatic blend of spices and seasonings creates a symphony of flavors, where the gentle heat of ginger dances with the savory depth of the sauce. A touch of sweetness balances the boldness, resulting in a glaze that is both intensely flavorful and utterly irresistible.

As you stir-fry, the sauce transforms into a luscious coating that envelops every strand of beef, promising a burst of flavor with each bite. The glaze reduces to a glossy sheen, indicating it's ready to be served, delivering a truly authentic and delicious experience. For an added layer of freshness, sprinkle sliced scallions over the finished dish.

Their mild, oniony flavor and vibrant green hue complement the richness of the beef and add a delightful textural contrast. Alternatively, a scattering of fresh cilantro provides a bright, herbaceous note that elevates the dish to new heights. This versatile stir-fry pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides.

Serve it alongside fluffy cauliflower rice for a light and satisfying meal, or enjoy it with a medley of stir-fried vegetables for added nutrients and vibrant colors. For a heartier option, consider pairing it with egg-fried rice, prepared with cauliflower rice to keep it wholesome. It's also fantastic served in crisp lettuce cups for a refreshing and convenient lunch.

Instructions

    1.
    Slice or cut the flank steak into even 1/2 inch wide strips. Add the steak strips to a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the steak pieces. Use your hands to toss the beef and gum together, lightly coating the steak strips all over in the powder.
    2.
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. Add the coated beef strips. Pan-fry the beef for 4-5 minutes until well browned all over. Remove the beef from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set to one side while you prepare the sauce.
    3.
    Finely crush the garlic and grate the ginger. Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and sweat gently for a minute to soften. Add the tamari sauce, water and maple-flavored syrup. Stir together well to combine. Simmer the sauce for a minute until bubbling and beginning to thicken.
    4.
    Return the steak strips to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the sauce. Pan-fry the beef for 2-3 minutes more until the sauce is reduced right down and thickened to a sweet sticky glaze, coating the beef all over. If the skillet gets too dry, you can always add a splash more water. This will help to deglaze the pan and lift any caramelized sauce from the base of the skillet. If your sauce is not thickening, you may also add a touch more xanthan gum as required.
    5.
    Roughly chop the scallions. Divide the cooked beef between two individual serving bowls and top with the chopped scallions. Serve the Mongolian beef hot accompanied by your favorite Keto Chinese inspired sides.
