Keto Mongolian Beef

Mongolian beef – a very mysterious recipe that came to us from China. You’ve probably seen it in Asian restaurants especially Chinese takeaways.

The name of this recipe might make you think it’s from Mongolia – a country in East Asia, but no, it’s not a Mongolian recipe. It’s a delicious and popular dish in the Chinese and Taiwanese cuisines.

Usually, this dish consists of stir-fried flank steak slices with vegetables in a sweet sauce. The sauce is usually a combination of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar and chili peppers. The dish is often served with steamed rice or noodles.

Ginger is another spice used in this recipe that commonly used in various Asian meals. It’s full of vitamins, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects so your meat not only wakes your taste buds up but also keep you keto-healthy.


We use xanthan gum to thicken the sauce as a substitute for cornstarch. You can also use guar gum.

To make the sauce a little bit sweet as the regular recipe, we add some erythritol. You can add your choice of keto sweetener such as monk fruit or feel free to not use any sweetener if you don’t like it sweet.
