TF Beef recipes

Mongolian Beef

Healthier version with all the delicious flavor. Just add a bed of brown rice or broccoli to go with it!

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb beef tenderloin, thinly sliced against the grain
• 1 TB corn starch (optional)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 tsp ginger, grated
• 2 1/2 – 3 TB low-sugar ketchup
• 1 1/2 TB honey
• 1 tsp Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
• 2 TB water (only if using corn starch)
• 3 green onion, cut into 2-inch pieces (green parts only)
• 1-2 TB olive oil for the pan

Directions

1. Stir together ketchup, honey, water, and Chinese rice wine/dry sherry. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil completely coats the bottom of the pan. Dredge the beef in corn starch (if using). Shake off any excess starch. Add the beef and quickly sauté until lightly browned.
3. Add garlic and ginger. Sauté for a few seconds. Add the sauce from step 1. The sauce should quickly come to a boil. Lower the heat a bit and allow it to bubble. Keep stirring. Reduce until it becomes thicker and glazes the beef. It should happen very quickly, within minutes.
4. Throw in the green onions at the last minute. Mix. Turn off the heat immediately. Serve with steamed brown rice or broccoli.

Stuffed Bell Peppers

This dish is a fun new recipe to try that rekindles the flame of creativity!

Ingredients

• 4 medium sized green peppers
• 1 cup tomato or marinara sauce
• about 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup cooked ground beef
• Optional: to make more filling, also add in some quinoa

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Slice tops off of green peppers, so that they resemble bowls. Remove any seeds to hollow out the peppers.
3. Add 1/4 cup of ground beef. Add quinoa, if desired. Then layer 1/4 cup of tomato sauce. Then sprinkle on cheese until the cheese reaches the brim of the pepper bowl. Repeat with remaining peppers. Place peppers on baking sheet.
4. Bake for about 10 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn heat up to 400F so that the cheese begins to bubble and blister. Serve immediately.
