Mongolian Beef Bok Choy (Keto-Friendly)

Ingredients:

For the Marinade:

• 1 kg beef, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon garam masala
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon psyllium husk
• 1 cup vegetable oil

For the Sauce:

• 1 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon ginger powder
• 3 tablespoons diet brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Tropicana sweet soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon psyllium husk
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 cup water

For Additional Ingredients:

• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 bunch bok choy, roughly chopped
• 3 green onions, roughly chopped

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:

   • Place the sliced beef into a resealable plastic bag or container.
   • Add the baking powder, garam masala, black pepper, and psyllium husk.
   • Seal the bag or container and shake well to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Prepare Additional Ingredients:

   • While the beef is marinating, prepare the additional ingredients by dicing the onion, chopping the bok choy, and slicing the green onions.

3. Cook the Beef:

   • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
   • Add a portion of the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
   • Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set it aside. Repeat the process with the remaining beef, adding more oil if necessary.

4. Prepare the Sauce:

   • Remove excess oil from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
   • Add the soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, diet brown sugar, oyster sauce, Tropicana sweet soy sauce, chili flakes, psyllium husk, sesame oil, and water to the skillet.
   • Stir and heat the mixture until it begins to simmer.

5. Combine and Cook:

   • Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the sauce.
   • Stir well to coat the beef evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
   • Add the diced onion, bok choy, and green onions to the skillet. Stir briefly until the vegetables are slightly wilted but still crisp.

6. Adjust Seasoning:

   • Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add more chili flakes.

7. Serve:

   • Remove from heat and transfer the Mongolian Beef Bok Choy to a serving dish.
   • Serve with keto-friendly shirataki noodles or your preferred low-carb side dish.
   • For an extra touch of heat, drizzle with chili oil before serving, if desired.

Enjoy this flavorful and keto-friendly twist on a classic dish, perfect for a satisfying and healthy meal!
