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.
Instructions
-
1
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, liquid stevia and a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.
-
2
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.
-
3
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.
