What is Szechuan Beef?

Traditionally Szechuan beef is prepared with a spicy sauce, fiery with the heat of Szechuan peppercorns. In the absence of the traditional peppercorns, we have created our own Keto-friendly interpretation of the sauce using a blend of aromatic spices and sweet and tangy condiments. The base of our low carb Szechuan inspired marinade consists of tamari sauce, maple-flavored syrup, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil and lime juice. We have whisked this together with Chinese five-spice, garlic, ginger, dried chili flakes, coriander and black pepper. The beef is coated in xanthan gum before pan-frying with the sauce to create a thick and golden glaze.

Alternatively, serve with low carb noodles or a medley of stir-fried Keto vegetables. Be sure to adjust your macros to account for any toppings or sides.
