Gluten Free Living – 2018
I loved this scrumptious Easy Mongolian Beef dish! This entree is a terrific 30-minute recipe! It’s fantastic for weeknight suppers when you have to put a meal on the table quickly. It’s also one of the best tasting Asian style beef recipes with rice I’ve eaten. This beef entree includes ginger, jalapeno pepper and green onions in a very tasty soy and brown sugar sauce. It’s delightful served over rice with a quinoa blend.

I was grocery shopping a couple of months ago and found a bottom round steak for stir fry that was on clearance. It was already sliced very thinly so I thought it would be great for a beef recipe served over rice. Believe me when I say I snatched it up pronto! So I started looking for Asian beef recipes that might be appropriate. I found this recipe and thought it would be excellent for using up this beef. I was right. The entree was so sumptuous and delicious that I absolutely loved it.
I could have eaten this dish for days and was fortunate to have enough for lunch for a couple of meals too. Another nice thing about this 30-minute Easy Mongolian Beef recipe is that it’s gluten free. Seriously, if you enjoy an Asian flair to your meals, this one is fabulous.
If you need a super easy weeknight meal recipe, this is it! Super easy. Super delicious. Super amazing.
