Mongolian Beef
- Using a serrated knife, slice the steak against the grain at an angle. Slice as thin as possible!!
- Add sliced steak to a bowl and add arrowroot starch. Toss to combine until the steak is fully coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add ~2 oil to the pan. Add carrots and bell pepper and cover with a lid to steam for 3-5 minutes. Once tender, remove from pan and set aside.
- Add remaining ~2 tbsp oil to the pan. Once hot, add the beef and cook on medium-high heat. Be careful not to overcook and turn the heat down when there's barely any pink left.
- Add the cooked veggies, green onions and sauce into the pan. Stir until well combined, then reduce heat and cover with a lid. Let cook for 4-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from heat and add sesame seeds to serve. Pair with rice and enjoy!
This was the first ever meal I made of yours and I have been hooked to your recipes ever since! Obsessed with the flavor in this meal!! Your cookbook is always open in my kitchen!
This was delicious! I did sub in 1/3 cup of low sodium soy sauce instead of tamari, 1/4 cup instead of coconut aminos, and omitted the salt since chili crisp tends to have a lot of salt already. I also added in two tsp of gochujang for more spice and it was delicious.
