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!
