1/2 – 3/4 c Coconut Sugar, Brown Sugar or Brown Swerve or your favorite Keto sweetener.

What’s the difference between Mongolian Beef and Szechuan Beef?

Szechuan comes from Southwest China, commonly made with garlic, chili peppers, and Szechuan peppercorns. It’s super spicy. Mongolian Beef is not spicy, stir-fried, and known more for the fresh veggies added to it. You can read more about the differences here.

I served this Mongolian Beef with cauliflower rice to keep the carbs lower. You can serve it with your favorite sides such as steamed rice, fried rice, or noodles. If you want lower carb noodles, I like Palmini!

Where does Mongolian Beef originate from? It was based on a dish in Taiwan but Mongolian Beef has adapted into a prominent menu item for American Chinese restaurants. You can add more vegetables to this recipe if you like, however, we like it with just green onions to garnish it.

What can I use instead of cornstarch to lower the carbs?  You have the option to omit it entirely. This will result in less thick of a sauce but it will still be delicious!

You can use Xanthan gum to coat the beef and thicken the sauce if you like.

There are 7 grams of Carbs per 1 TBSP of Cornstarch. You could also just use less cornstarch however, this will result in a runnier sauce. It will still be delicious!
