Crock Pot Mongolian Beef Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by coating thin slices of flank steak with cornstarch, which helps thicken the sauce and contributes to the beef’s texture. The beef is combined with a mix of soy sauce, beef broth, water, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and black pepper in a slow cooker. Julienned carrot and chopped asparagus add vegetable elements to the dish.
The cooking process on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours allows the beef to tenderize and absorb the sauce’s sweet-savory flavors. The brown sugar balances the saltiness of soy sauce, while ginger and garlic provide aromatic depth. The cornstarch coating gives the beef a slight coating that melds into the sauce, slightly thickening it.
Typically served over rice, this dish offers a hearty meal where the tender, flavorful beef and vegetables combine with the sauce. The slow cooker method allows hands-off preparation suited to busy schedules.
