Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef flank steak
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 cup Carrots, julienned
- 4 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups Cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef flank steak against the grain into bite-sized strips.
Place the beef strips into a gallon-sized resealable bag. Add the cornstarch and seal the bag. Shake well to evenly coat the beef with the cornstarch.
In the slow cooker, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, water, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved to create the sauce.
Add the coated beef strips to the slow cooker and ensure they are fully submerged in the sauce.
Add the julienned carrots on top of the beef (do not mix).
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the beef is tender and flavorful.
Once the cooking time is complete, stir the beef mixture to ensure everything is well-coated in the sauce.
Serve the Mongolian beef over cooked rice or noodles, if desired. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
