Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Flank steak
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 4 Green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by slicing the flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips for optimal tenderness.
In a small bowl, mix together the coconut aminos, water, granulated erythritol, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to create the sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced flank steak in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce while constantly stirring to thicken to your desired consistency.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce to coat evenly. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through and fully coated in the sauce.
Garnish the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the Keto Mongolian Beef immediately, optionally over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a complete low-carb meal.
