    The Mongolian cuisine is known for its simplicity and the use of staple ingredients to create incredibly flavorful meals.

    This keto Mongolian beef recipe makes some simple substitutes to make it low carb without losing any flavor.

    Delicious low carb Mongolian beef with a thick sauce served in a bowl and garnished with chopped scallions

    With just 4 grams of net carbs per portion, it leaves plenty of room for sides such as steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice which I highly recommend to complete this dish.

    You can easily substitute the beef for chicken as well and it tastes just as great.

      Sesame oil is mentioned in the ingredients for the recipe, but then it does not appear again in the instructions. At what point does it go in ??

        Hi Sonia, sorry about that. I've updated the recipe! It's supposed to be used in step 1 mixed with the beef and I accidentally wrote vegetable oil. Hope that helps!
