Easy Asian cuisine: Slow cooker Mongolian beef

Start by prepping the steak. Slice it thinly, going against the grain.

Next, relocate the steak slices into a large zip-close bag and pour cornstarch all over them. Seal the bag and spread the cornstarch around so the meat is as covered as possible. Framed Cooks explains this will allow for your meat to be as moisture-free as possible and achieve optimal cooking.

Directly in your slow cooker, pour in chili flakes, minced garlic, brown sugar, grated ginger, olive oil, soy sauce and water. Stir until well mixed.

Add in the steak slices and make sure the sauce is carefully applied to the meat.

Cover your slow cooker and set it to cook on high for 2 to 3 hours.

About half an hour before the meat is done cooking, add in the grated carrots and stir.

You can add green onions and sesame seeds, or any other garnish you deem appropriate, to the final result – a meal as delicious as it is beautiful. Serve with rice for pure perfection.
