Scale

(Serves 4)

Beef & coating:

1½ lbs flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain (you love rich cuts!)
½ cup almond flour (you love almond flour—keeps it GF/low-carb!)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil (for frying)

Sugar-free Mongolian sauce:

¼ cup coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce (you love low-sodium!)
2 tbsp sugar-free honey (monk fruit blend—you love blood sugar friendly!)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp sesame oil
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional—you love spicy!)

For serving:

4 green onions, sliced
Sesame seeds
Optional sides:
→ Cauliflower rice or stir-fried bok choy (low-carb—you love this!)

Instructions

1. Coat beef:

In a bowl, mix almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
Dip beef slices in beaten egg, then coat in almond flour mixture.

2. Pan-fry beef:

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef in batches 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove; drain on paper towels.

3. Make sauce:

In same skillet, add coconut aminos, sugar-free honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

4. Toss & serve:

Return beef to skillet; toss to coat in sauce. Cook 1 more minute. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
