Mongolian beef may be a takeout favorite, but it’s typically loaded with sugar— one serving from PF Changs has more sugar than a Snickers bar! Our variation cuts the sugar down to 4.5 grams per serving while still delivering a hit of sweet and savory flavor.
Note that this recipe calls for a variety of bottled sauces. You’ll be able to find them all in the Asian section of any grocery store.

-
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, liquid stevia and a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.
-
Heat the sesame oil in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the ginger, garlic and shallots for a minute or two, until fragrant. Add the ground beef and brown.
-
When the beef is still a little pink, add the sauce and stir. Let the mixture bubble until most of the liquid has evaporated and the beef is glossy, about 7–10 minutes.
-
Garnish with sliced scallions and sliced chili peppers, if desired. Serve over rice with your favorite veggies.
