Delicious Crockpot Mongolian Beef Recipe for Easy Dinners

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 2 pounds flank steak, sliced
  • 1 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and set aside.

    Thin slices allow for better absorption of flavors.
  2. Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.

    Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  3. Add to Crockpot

    Place the sliced flank steak in the crockpot and pour the sauce mixture over it.

    Make sure all beef is well coated.
  4. Cook on Low

    Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

    Cooking on low yields more tender beef.
  5. Serve

    Once cooked, serve the Mongolian beef over steamed rice or noodles.

    Garnish with green onions for added flavor.
