If you’re wondering what to serve with Mongolian Beef, I’ve got a ton of options for you!
What I find with Chinese food, is it sometimes feels all inclusive— you have your starch, veggies and protein all together in a delicious sauce. If you happen to be feeding a large family, like I am, it can feel like you’re only serving one thing. I mean, it’s enough for me, but I think my kids are bottomless pits! LOL!!
Mongolian Beef is a takeout favorite that my entire family loves. We used to often order it for take out, but then I decided to try my hand at making it at home. The results were better than I could have expected, and it quickly became a staple!
Mongolian beef is made by stir-frying beef, onions, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, and a few other ingredients. It’s savory, a little bit sweet, and oh-so hearty.
My version is done in the Crockpot and uses stew meat or sirloin steak that simmers and becomes ultra tender and full of flavor. So easy to prepare for any weeknight.
While most Chinese dishes, like Orange Chicken do have a good variety of veggies included, Mongolian Beef just has onions. So I do like to pull together some additional options.
There are plenty of easy side dishes to choose from. I recommend that you pair it with some vegetables as well as some carbs to really round out your meal.
Since my Mongolian Beef recipe is done in the slow cooker, there is plenty of space in your kitchen to whip up some delicious accompaniments as it cooks!
Easy Side Dishes
Choose between any of the side dishes below to make a meal out of your Mongolian Beef dish! Again, I recommend that you opt for at least one vegetable and one carbohydrate to really round things out. You can also add a salad to the mix if you’re craving some freshness!
Rice
The obvious choice is rice. Starchy, sticky, and oh so good! Rice is one of those classic easy side dishes that go perfectly with Mongolian Beef. When you order this dish in a restaurant or for take-out, it’s almost always paired with white steamed rice.
I like to mix things up a bit and serve wild rice instead of white rice. It’s healthier for you and gives a nice texture. Brown rice works well too. I love cooking rice in my instant pot, it turns out perfectly every single time!
Green Beans
Green beans are a classic vegetable side dish that I’m sure you know and love. I have 3 recommendations in the green bean category, good luck choosing, because they are all amazing!
Salads
There’s nothing like fresh fruit to compliment your meal. Swap out a green salad for a fruit salad. It also satisfies that sweet craving.
Healthy Veggies
Carbs/starches
