After visiting PF Chang’s China Bistro and having their Gluten Free Mongolian Beef, I had to create my own recipe. This recipe may be made mild and sweet, without peppers, sweet, or as spicy as you wish with some added red pepper flakes. It is one of our favorite dishes. I hope you enjoy this gluten free Mongolian beef recipe as much as we have.
A fast, easy, delicious, gluten free Mongolian beef recipe, ready in 30 minutes.

- Peanuts and/or cashews (optional)
- Sauteed bell peppers (optional)
Instructions:

- Serve warm over rice and top with scallions, and if desired, peanuts and/or cashews.
Tips
No ginger? This recipe turns out delicious without ginger, as well.
Feel free to add additional soy or tamari sauce as long as you are not on a low-sodium diet.
Serve steamed broccoli or snow peas along side, or added directly into the sauce.

Hmm.. I don’t eat any red meat myself, do you think this would work well with pork? And do you think any particular cut would work better?
Angel, that is a great idea! Strips of pork tenderloin would make an awesome dish, as it has a higher fat and would turn out very tender. Of course, you can use pork chops, as well, but be sure not to over cook the strips of chops, as they are pretty dry already.
I just tried your recipe (with a few modifications) and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Check out my post about it :)
