Easy Mongolian Beef
One of my favorite stir fry meals is crispy Mongolian beef. It's a unique dish I get a craving for that no other beef recipe can satisfy.
Servings 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb. flat iron steak (thinly sliced against the grain)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, avocado oil or other oil of your choice
- 3-4 green onions (cut into 1-inch slices)
Marinade:
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp ginger (grated)
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos or low sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- Cut the Flat Iron Steak into very thin slices against the grain
- Place the meat in a zip lock bag or a bowl. Add the coconut aminos, ginger and garlic. Marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- When you are ready to cook, drain the meat from the marinade but reserve the liquid for later.
- Pour the coconut oil in a large wok or cast iron skillet and heat it until it's almost smoking. Oil should be hot so you can get the nice crispy edges on the beef.
- Carefully add the beef to the very hot oil and keep stir frying over a high heat. Taking care not to burn it. Normally this takes just 1-3 minutes. When the last batch of meat is in. Add the green onions and cook for the last 30 -45 seconds.
- Remove the meat to a serving plate.
- If you would like more sauce to serve with the meat quickly cook the remaining marinade for just a minute or two in your wok or skillet. We do this and serve it over rice and steamed veggies.

If you would like a sweeter recipe feel free to ass 1-2 tablespoons sugar to your marinade. This of course would take away from this dish being Keto.
