I’m a lover of all meatballs. I don’t discriminate when it comes to them. They have to be tender and not overcooked though. These Moroccan Meatballs area great one when you want to venture away from your typical Italian meatball. I love pairing them with…
I had left over Healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip and, in an attempt to clean out my fridge when making dinner, I stuffed some chicken breasts. Chicken breasts can get boring and dry when you cook them and I knew by stuffing them with this delicious…
Whenever I make my way to P.F.
Changs, I always order the Mongolian beef.
I remember in high school when I first tasted it, my mind was
blown. I could not believe my
mouth. What was this sorcery? How could
something taste so amazing? From then on
I craved Mongolian beef. It’s so sweet and tasty. I do however, find it can get tough at times
and that I don’t like.
This Mongolian Beef will surely be
anything but tough. It’s tender, has
amazing flavor, and pairs perfectly with steamed broccoli. I also appreciate when making a dish at home that
I can control how sweet or spicy it ends up being. Although, I do request spicy
Mongolian beef from P.F. Changs, I still like my version just a bit more. My mouth thinks it only makes sense if you
have sweetness in a piece of meat, that it should also have some spice. My mind tends to agree. That’s the great thing about making meals at
home. You’re able to control the flavors
based on your palate preference.
I love having this meal on a cool
evening over some cauliflower rice (regular rice would also be great). The rice definitely acts as vessel to soak up
all of the sauce so you don’t miss out on any.
Trust me when I say you do not want to miss out.
If broccoli isn’t your thing, you can sub for green beans, red pepper, or whatever veggie is striking your fancy at the moment.
3-pounds chuck or flank steak, sliced ¼ inch thick
1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup arrowroot powder
1 tablespoon avocado oil
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
3 teaspoons garlic, minced or pressed
¾ cup coconut aminos
½ cup coconut sugar or maple syrup
1-2 tablespoons Sriracha, or to taste
¾ cup water
4 green onions, whites thinly sliced and greens cut into 2-inch pieces
½ – 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
1-1.5 pounds broccoli florets
Instructions
Season steak with salt and pepper. Then coat with arrowroot powder. Can use a plastic bag, or just toss in a large bowl.
Add oil, garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, sugar, Sriracha, water, and whites of green onions. Add the beef and stir to coat in sauce. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 2-3 hours, or until beef is tender.
Steam broccoli for 5-7 minutes or until easily pierced with a knife and the color is bright green. You can also place it in the slow cooker for the final 30 minutes. I prefer for it not have the same flavor as the beef, but completely a preference thing here.
Garnish beef with the greens of the green onions and sesame seeds.
