Mongolian Beef is a classic dish that originated in China and has become a fan favorite around the world. This version of the dish uses a slow cooker to make the beef exceptionally tender while also allowing it to absorb all the delicious flavors of the sauce. The combination of sweetness and saltiness in the sauce is the perfect complement to the savory beef. One of the things I love about this recipe is how easy it is to make. With just a few simple steps, you can have a restaurant-quality dish ready to go in no time.
Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs beef sirloin, sliced into thin strips
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 3/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, coat the beef strips with cornstarch until well coated. For optimal taste, you definitely want to brown your meat before adding to slow cooker. Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat and stir-fry the beef until it is browned on all sides. Transfer the beef into the slow cooker.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, water, and brown sugar until well combined.
3. Pour the sauce over the beef in the slow cooker.
4. Cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened.
5. Serve over rice and enjoy!
