Crockpot Mongolian Beef Dinner

This Crockpot Mongolian Beef Dinner recipe is part of my quest this Summer to slooow down. I decided to start a recipe series with Summer Crockpot Meals. Using my slow cooker is an easy way to enjoy the outdoors more, spend more time with God and my family but still feed my family delicious healthy food without heating up the kitchen! 

I think you’ll love these super easy crockpot summer meals! The first one up…

Crockpot Mongolian Beef Dinner Recipe

I have to admit that I don’t utilize my Crock Pot near enough! I usually use it for cooking in bulk and freezer meals or family get togethers and such.  Here’s a little secret too… I don’t really like a lot of the Crockpot/slow cooker recipes out there and neither does my family…sooo I’m committed to bringing YOU and my family the very best Crock Pot recipes in the next few months!

Not only that, my BIG COMMITMENT for the Summer is to rest, spend time with my family, have more fun and spend more time with God!  We are calling it The Feast!

Along with these yummy summer time crock pot meals, I’m going to be sharing a weekly devotional that I hope you can use in your journal journey

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 pounds beef flank steak (other options ~ London Broil, Skirt Steak)
  • 1  cup water
  • 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup brown sugar (depending on how sweet you want it)
  • 1/2 cups finely chopped carrots
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

Directions:

First off I just have to say that MOST recipes call for flank steak, that is why I have it in the ingredients, BUT I rarely use flank steak as it is soo expensive! 

Mongolian Beef Crock Pot Food fact:

London Broil is the same cut of meat as flank steak! Yep! Personally I think that London Broil is PERFECT for these kinds of Crockpot recipes and so much cheaper for the budget!

Wondering How do you make beef tender?

Beef tenderizes as it cooks! That’s why using a more inexpensive meat when cooking in the crockpot/slow cooker is so economical! It still tastes tender and delicious even though you use a cheaper meat. 

Ok sooo…..

Cut up your choice of meat.

crock pot recipes

Put into a ziplock bag with cornstarch.  Shake up to coat all pieces.

crock pot recipes

Set the meat aside for 10 min to let rest.

While the meat is “resting” Mix together ~ Soy Sauce, water, garlic, minced fresh ginger and brown sugar.

grating ginger

For fresh Ginger, you simply peel off tough outer skin and then grate.

SPRAY your slow cooker with cooking spray…easy clean up.

Then add meat to slow cooker and pour sauce on top.  That’s it!

Now I don’t add my veggies until there’s about 1/2 of cooking time left.  That’s because I don’t want mushy veggies.  If you want to add your veggies all together from the very beginning…it is perfectly fine…they cook down and the fam will never know they were even in there! HA!

Cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2 1/2 hours.

You may want to check about 1/2 before cooking time is done.  Due to different kinds of slow cookers and varying temps., you’ll want to check and see if the thickness of the sauce is where you want it.  If it’s thicker than you want, simply add a 1/2 cup water at a time until you have the desired thickness.

Serve over rice!

Oooh and if you would like to Pre Prepare this meal for a freezer meal that you can serve later…simply do all of the above, but instead of putting into the Crockpot, put ALL ingredients into Ziplock bags and freeze for later.  When you are ready to use, simply unthaw completely and add to Crockpot and cook!

    Love coming home to this! It’s so hot right now and we are always out and about so there’s not much I want to cook. We prefer adding our veggies later like you suggest.
