Crock Pot Mongolian Beef


I don't ordinarily blog about food this often...but it's winter....and I live in Iowa...and I'm cold....and hungry.  So there.  Today is your lucky day though friends because I have discovered what may be one of my FAVE crockpot concoctions ever.  Crockpot Mongolian Beef....who woulda thunk it? Not I.  

Go forth...make Crockpot Mongolian Beef.  You can thank me later...oh and I like tulips and chocolates.  

Crockpot Mongolian Beef
1 1/2 lb. ball tip steak or flank steak (from Wallace Farms if you're nearby...Nick rocks)
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 sliced green onions
1 tsp. dried onion
1/2 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. white wine
1/4 c. cooking sherry
1/2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. molasses
1 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. red chili flakes

2) Put all liquid and dry spices into crockpot, add PB, mix well.

  5. Making this now for tomorrow. Can't wait! I halved the recipe and used about a pound of raw shrimp in place of the steak. I also threw in a couple shrimp shells for added flavor. Yum!

  12. Found this on pinterest, and while it's not in my mouth yet, my house smells AMAZING.

    One quick critique though: For those of us who cook quickly... I almost missed the 1/2 T vs. 1/2 t. Might be easier for some if it said 1.5 t (instead of 1/2 T)... just a thought :)

    thanks for the great recipe!

  15. Just curious why you toss the meat in cornstarch first? I made this last night and the sauce turned out as thick as paste, is that right?

  16. Just curious...I was looking at your kitchen remodel and noticed a sign from Thor, IA...are you from that area? I grew up in Goldfield which is very near there. Small world!

  22. I truly hate most crockpot recipes. I think it's the texture the meat gets. This one was so good. Very flavorful. Thanks for the awesome recipe.

    1. A lot of recipes with soy sauce are too salty for me too and I use either low sodium soy sauce, coconut Aminos or I'll substitute water for half the soy sauce. Putting this in the crock pot right now!

  26. Use low sodium soy sauce for sure - very salty.
