Mongolian Beef (Grain-Free)

Mongolian beef is an easy weeknight dinner that’s much more nutritious than take-out!

Mongolian Beef (Grain-Free)

I used sirloin in this recipe, but you can swap it out with cuts such as ribeye, flatiron or T-bone. You can also add in extra vegetables like bell pepper, broccoli or thinly-sliced carrots. 

Mongolian Beef (Grain-Free)

The Mongolian beef can be served with cauliflower “rice” or soaked brown rice.

Mongolian Beef (Grain-Free)

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds sirloin, cut into 2 1/2” wide strips
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 2 cups palm shortening or any other healthy fat or oil of your choice (for frying)
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons fermented tamari or coconut aminos

Instructions

  1. Toss the beef with the tapioca flour in a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat the palm shortening over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven or large pot until it gets to 375ºF. Add 1/3 of the beef and fry until browned and crispy, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried beef to a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining beef.
  3. Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the frying oil and swirl to coat. Add the green onions, garlic, and ginger and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in the water, brown sugar, and tamari and bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce is thick and reduced to about 1 1/4 cups, about 6 minutes.
  4. Add the beef to the green onion mixture and stir until sauce coats the beef. Serve immediately with cauliflower rice or soaked and cooked brown rice.

    Why wouldn't you just use the beef cooking pot to do the next step? Fewer dishes to wash and you don't lose the flavor of the bits left in the pan...

      You're welcome to pour the hot oil into another bowl or something and then continue using the same skillet.

    This looks amazing and pretty simple! Can't wait to try it, I crave the take out version so it would be awesome to make it myself!

    I can’t have refined sugars - any good substitute you would recommend for the brown sugar?

      If you can't do organic brown cane sugar, then a coconut sugar might be a good alternative.

          This isn't a blog for diabetics, so sometimes I include sugars in my recipes.
