Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef
Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef features thin strips of flank steak coated in cornstarch, cooked slowly in a sweet and savory sauce of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and water. Shredded carrots add mild sweetness and texture, while optional garnishes like green onions and sesame seeds provide freshness and subtle nuttiness. The slow cooking method ensures the beef becomes tender and flavorful, making this a comforting main dish served best over rice.
