Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef
All About This Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef
This Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef is simple, easy, and delicious! Even better? This dish tastes exactly like what you would order from your favorite local Chinese restaurant. The beef is tender and juicy, and the sauce that is created is SO GOOD.
This dish can also be served a number of ways. My favorite way to serve it is with rice and steamed broccoli. You can use leftovers as a filling in a sandwich or a wrap, or even on top of a salad.
What You’ll Need
Equipment
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Gallon-sized ziploc bag
- Slow cooker
- Spoon
Ingredients
- Flank steak
- Corn starch
- Soy sauce
- Water
- Brown sugar
- Shredded carrots
- Garlic
- Green onion and sesame seeds, to garnish (optional)
How To Make This Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef
With a knife and a cutting board, slice the flank steak into thin slices across the grain. Alternatively, you can ask your butcher to slice it for you when you are at the meat counter. (This is what I do. Such a time saver!)
In a gallon-sized ziploc bag, toss the flank steak and corn starch around until the flank steak is well coated. The corn starch is what will thicken as it cooks to create the yummy sauce that your family will be licking off their plates. (Is it just my family that does that?!)
In your slow cooker, add the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, shredded carrots, and garlic. Add the flank steak and cover. Stir until everything is combined.
Cook on low for 2 hours or on high for 1 hour. Once the flank steak is cooked, stir well so that it is coated with the sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and more shredded carrots if desired and serve.
Serving Suggestions

Storing And Freezing Instructions
This Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. It can be reheated in the microwave, stovetop, or oven.
Additionally, it can also be frozen and reheated. I would suggest letting it thaw in your refrigerator overnight. Then, heat it up on your stove or in your oven.
When reheating in your oven, place your baking dish in a cold oven and allow it to come up to 350 degrees. By the time the oven reaches 350 degrees, it should be heated through without drying it out.
