Mongolian ground beef
Mongolian ground beef is a tasty and cost-effective alternative to the classic. It’s a healthier soy-free alternative that’s paleo, whole30, and AIP friendly.
This recipe has become a household favorite in no time! The main ingredient in Mongolian beef is steak, typically flank steak, which is first coated in starch (such as corn starch or arrowroot) to make it crispy before being blended with green onions and a sauce composed of soy sauce. It’s a hearty, delicious dish that pairs well with rice and vegetables.
However, I don’t eat Mongolian Beef as frequently because it uses pricey steak cuts. I chose to adapt this recipe so that it could be made using ground beef because I always have the much more affordable and manageable ground beef on hand.
It’s as delicious, simpler, and cheaper! This dish is a better option because it is AIP, whole30, gluten-free, and paleo.
