Mongolian Beef

I decided to do something with beef. I was getting kind of tired of chicken and plus the Hub loves him some beef!!  For some reason he thinks it's more manly. Like unshaven, rough & rugged manly.  So I made him a beef recipe and ya know what???  He said its one of my best recipes I've tried and I agreed with him!  Nice!  It was super easy and really didn't take that much time to make. I just steamed some Cauliflower and Broccoli to go with it but you could do any veggies. Or add in some rice or quinoa if you choose. So here it is Brads Fav Mongolian Beef...

What you will need...
-1 lb Sirloin Steak sliced 
-3 Tbsp Arrowroot Powder
-1/2 tsp Sea Salt
-1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
-1/2 cup Olive Oil
-1 Tbsp Ghee or grass fed Butter
-2 Tbsp Chopped Garlic
-1 tsp Fresh Grated Ginger
-Dash of Red Pepper Flakes
-1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil
-1/2 cup Coconut Aminos ( or Gluten Free Tamari sauce)
-1/2 cup Beef Broth
-1/3 cup Honey
-3 Green Onions chopped 



Cut the Steaks into 1/4 inch slices.  Add the Arrowroot Powder to a bowl and blend in the Sea Salt & Pepper.  Dip each of the pieces into the mixture shaking off excess powder and lay aside.  Leave coated steak to sit for 15 minutes this allows the coating to really adhere to the steak.    



 Now make the sauce while the steak is sitting. Melt 1Tbsp of Ghee in saucepan over medium heat.  Add garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and cook for about a minute.  Add Sesame Oil, Coconut Aminos (or gf Tamari) and beef broth and honey. Turn heat up and stir until sauce thickens slightly about a couple minutes.  Turn off heat let sauce stand while you cook your steak. 


Take your 1/2 cup Olive Oil and heat up in pan on medium or until hot. Using tongs gently drop the steak pieces in and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until slightly browned. 


 Remove the beef and place on Paper Towels to remove excess oil.  Clean oil out of pan and then return it to the heat.   Add the beef back into the pan and add your sauce to the same pan. Cook a couple more minutes for beef to be fully cooked and add green onion then cook for one more minute. 


There will be extra sauce so you can use it for your veggies If you'd like or rice/quinoa if your having that. 
And there you go.. Mongolian Beef.. 


Don't be too surprised how good it is I warned you :)
Enjoy!
