Mongolian Beef (Soy-Free)
Tender slices of beef coated in a savory and slightly sweet sauce, inspired by Mongolian flavors, but made completely without soy. Served over rice for a comforting lunch.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Flank steak
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Ginger
- 1/2 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup Beef broth
- 2 tbsp Arrowroot powder
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 Green onions
- 2 tbsp Avocado oil
- 4 cups Cooked brown rice
Instructions
- 1Slice the 1 lb flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces.
- 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup coconut aminos, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1/4 cup beef broth until the brown sugar is dissolved.
- 3Add the 2 tbsp arrowroot powder to the liquid mixture and whisk until completely smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- 4Heat the 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced flank steak in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if necessary). Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the beef is browned.
- 5Add the 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tbsp of grated ginger to the skillet with the beef. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- 6Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-4 minutes, until the sauce bubbles and thickens enough to coat the beef.
- 7Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the 1 tbsp sesame oil.
- 8Divide the 4 cups of cooked brown rice among serving bowls. Top with the Mongolian beef and sauce. Garnish with the 2 sliced green onions.
