Ingredients

2 lbs beef stew meat or flank steak cut into slices
1/3 cup tapioca flour
1 cup coconut aminos*
1/4 cup water or beef broth
2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil or avocado oil
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
4 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
½ tsp black pepper to taste
3 scallions sliced into 1-inch pieces green parts only

Instructions

Transfer the sliced flank steak to a large bowl and toss with the ½ cup of tapioca flour until all of the strips of beef are coated. Spray the bowl of your crock pot with cooking spray and move the beef to the bottom of your crock pot.
In a small bowl or a measuring cup, whisk together the coconut aminos, water (or broth), sesame oil, cider vinegar, minced garlic, minced fresh ginger, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce into the crock pot with the meat and give everything a big stir.
Secure the lid on the crock pot and cook on high heat for 2-3 hours or low heat for 4-5 hours, stirring halfway through if possible. Stir the meat and taste it for flavor. Season it to taste with sea salt.
Serve Mongolian beef over your choice of rice (white rice, brown rice, cauliflower rice, cilantro lime rice, etc.) with a side of steamed broccoli, chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and enjoy!

Notes

*Replace the coconut aminos with ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce and ½ cup pure maple syrup.
