Mongolian Beef
This recipe is our take on the traditional Chinese restaurant dish of tender strips of beef, coated in a sticky, lightly spiced sauce. Perfect for when you want something that feels naughty, but isn’t packed full of extra calories, this dish is a great weekend dinner as you can just pop it in the oven and forget about it for a couple of hours!

Hi there. Could I use beef shin instead of stir-fry strips for this dish?
HollyWednesday 30th March 2022
Hey Mel, yes you could swap to beef shin instead just ensure it is cut into bite-sized pieces. Hope that helps!

Hi, I’m struggling to get granulated sweetener – how much sugar would I have to use instead if I altered the calories? Thank you!
HollyTuesday 4th January 2022
Hey Lisa, we use granulated sweetener that is the same weight and texture as sugar so it can easily be substituted for sugar instead. if you have a look at THIS article it talks you through how to make alterations to the nutritional information. Hope that helps!
