Mongolian Beef (Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free)

Frying the cornstarch-coated beef in small batches, without crowding the pan, is what makes each piece crisp instead of steaming together in a soggy clump.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup tamari
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup allulose
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 3 green onions, sliced

Method

  1. 1

    Toss the sliced beef in cornstarch until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Heat avocado oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Fry the beef in small batches, without crowding the pan, 1-2 minutes per side until crisp — frying in small batches like this is what lets each piece crisp individually, instead of steaming together in one soggy clump if the pan is too full.

  3. 3

    Remove beef and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

  4. 4

    In the same pan, combine tamari, water, allulose, garlic, and ginger, simmering 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Return the crispy beef to the pan, toss to coat, and garnish with green onions before serving immediately.
