Description
Mouthwatering and easy to prepare, Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef delivers the flavors of Asian cuisine with tender flank steak in a sweet and savory sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs flank steak, sliced thinly
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Cooked rice (for serving)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering your ingredients. Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain, which helps in making it tender during cooking.
- In a slow cooker, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir the mixture until the sugar is dissolved completely for a flavorful sauce.
- Add the sliced flank steak to the slow cooker, ensuring each piece is coated well with the sauce. Cover and set the cooker to low, allowing it to cook for 5-6 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- If you’re using red pepper flakes for some heat, add them during the last hour of cooking. Once ready, serve the beef over cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh crunch.
Notes
For variations, try adding broccoli or mango for additional flavors.
