MONGOLIAN BEEF BOWLS

  • Jasmine Rice

  • Broccoli Florets for steaming

  • Flank steak

  • 1 TBSP avocado oil

  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced

  • ½ tsp ginger, minced

  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1 tsp brown sugar

  • ½ tsp corn or tapioca starch

  • toppings: avocado, green onion, sesame seeds

    DIRECTIONS:

    Cook rice in a rice cooker or according to package directions and steam broccoli.
    In a pan, heat up oil over medium to low heat. Add in 2-3 minced garlic cloves and minced ginger. Cook until fragrant for about 1-2 mins.
    Add in soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, water and brown sugar. Let simmer. Once simmering, pull off of heat and set aside.
    Add in thinly sliced flank steak (we use @butcher_box !) to pan and cook until almost done.
    Put heat on low and add the sauce back into the pan with the beef and add starch so the sauce thickens up and coats the beef.
    Plate rice, broccoli and beef. Add additional toppings!
