Craving that classic, savory-sweet flavor of Mongolian Beef but need it to be gluten-free? You’ve come to the right place! This recipe delivers all the deliciousness you expect, without the gluten. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Why Gluten-Free Mongolian Beef?
Traditional Mongolian Beef relies on soy sauce, which usually contains wheat. Our version swaps out traditional soy sauce for tamari, a naturally gluten-free alternative with a similar flavor profile. We also use cornstarch instead of flour for coating the beef, ensuring a crispy texture without any gluten.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions, for garnish
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
- In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with cornstarch until evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together tamari, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and beef broth. This is your sauce.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Fry the beef in batches until browned and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer, cooking until it thickens slightly.
- Add the beef back to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce.
- Garnish with green onions and serve immediately over rice or noodles (make sure they are gluten-free!).
Tips and Variations:
- For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preferred sweetness.
- Feel free to add vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers to the dish.
