Mongolian Beef Recipe
Mongolian Beef Recipe | Lower Calorie Slimming
Ingredients
- 600g of steak (I used rump as that is what I had in, but you can use flank or thin minute steak)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (Plus 1 tsp for marinating)
- 3 tablespoons cornflour
- 1 extra tablespoon of cornflour mixed in with some water
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tsp granulated sweetener
- 60ml beef stock (can be made up from a cube)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons regular soy sauce (Plus 1 tsp for marinating)
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger (finely chopped or minced)
- 1 red chilli, finely diced (Adjust to your taste)
- 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- 1 Sping onion, finely chopped
- Low-calorie cooking spray
Instructions
- First, cut the beef into strips. Spray the beef with low-calorie cooking spray, and add 1 teaspoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornflour. Leave this to marinate for at least 1 hour.
- Once marinated, add the marinated beef slices to 2 tablespoons of cornflour until lightly coated.
- In a bowl, mix the maple syrup and the sweetener beef stock. Mix in the remaining soy sauce. Taste to make sure it isn't too salty, add more stock of so.
- Line a baking tray with some greaseproof paper, and lay the steak strips out onto it. Place in the oven for 4 minutes. This should get the steak crispy.
- In a wok or frying pan, add some low-calorie cooking spray. Add the ginger and chilli and fry for a minute. Then add in the garlic.
- Add the maple syrup and stock mix to the pan.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes and slowly stir in the cornflour mixed with water. Cook until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Add the beef and scallions and toss everything together for about 30 seconds. There shouldn't be any liquid left in the pan and the sauce should stick to the beef. If you still have sauce, increase the heat slightly and stir until thickened.
