One Pan Mongolian Beef Recipe✨
This may be one of the best things I’ve ever made myself 😋 I make this recipe and use it as meal prep for 3-4 days and I swear it gets tastier each day! Here’s what you need:
- 1lb beef flank - I buy mine already sliced against the grain (this helps make it more tender)
- 16oz broccoli
- 2 cups rice - I cook my rice with 1.5 cups of water and 1/2 cup of chicken broth to add protein and flavor)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar (okay this isn’t exactly the healthiest but next time I’m going to try using honey as an alternative)
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- optional: sesame seeds & hemp hearts (extra nutrition 😉)
Instructions:
1. Mix soy sauce, sugar, corn starch, water, ginger, and garlic. Set aside.
2. In a pan, add avocado oil and cook broccoli for 1-2 minutes or until it turns bright green. Set aside.
3. Add beef to pan in one layer and cook for 1-2 mins without moving (this allows the outside to brown). After 1-2 mins, flip and cook for another 1-2 mins. Add to bowl with broccoli.
4. Add sauce to pan until it comes to a boil (this happens pretty quickly). Sauce will thicken (if it thickens too much just add more water)
5. Add beef and broccoli to the pan and cook for another 1-2 mins.
6. Serve over rice. I garnished mine with sesame seeds and hemp hearts.
This recipe is GF & DF 😋 I found a similar recipe online and elevated it by using regular sugar instead of brown sugar, using avocado oil rather than canola oil, and adding extra ginger and hemp hearts. Enjoy! 🥦🥩✨
