Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs. Flank Steak
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 inch Ginger
  • 1 Scallion
  • ½ cup Reduced Salt Soy Sauce
  • ⅓ cup Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup Cornstarch
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Thinly cut the flank steak against the grain, and then dice. Put the steak in a bowl.
  • Season flank steak with salt and pepper to taste, and coat with cornstarch. Mix until well combined.
  • Mince your ginger and garlic.
  • At the bottom of the slow cooker, add the vegetable oil and then add the steak.
  • Then add the garlic, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and water. Stir ingredients until well combined.
  • Turn the slow cooker on 2.5 hours on high or 4-5 hours on low. Then stir when done cooking.
  • Slice the scallion. Garnish the Mongolian beef with scallions and sesame seeds and serve over rice.

Notes

To add some more flavor to the sauce, you can also add a dash of Hoisin sauce into the slow cooker along with the flank steak.
I used flank steak for this recipe, but you can also try making slow cooker Mongolian beef with skirt steak or Sirloin steak or practically any other cut of beef of your choice. The idea is to get a tender bite once the beef is done cooking.
To cut down the prep time for this recipe, you can also prepare the sauce with the minced garlic, low sodium soy sauce brown sugar and other ingredients and bottle it up. This can last for 3-4 days in the refrigerator, and you can use it whenever you're making the recipe.
