Slow cooker Mongolian Beef is one of the easiest and tastiest dump-it and run recipes we’ve encountered. You can use cheaper, tougher cuts of beef as they will become meltingly tender in a silkily textured sauce bursting with flavor.
This recipe is fantastic served with stir-fried rice and veggies or served over fresh steamed broccoli. Keto-friendly and low carb options are provided at the bottom.
You’ll Need:
2 lbs thinly sliced sirloin beef
¼ cup cornstarch
2 medium onions, sliced
1-inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
3-4 garlic cloves, peeled and pressed
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
Optional:
2 green onions, sliced diagonally
sesame seeds
Place the meat in a zip-close style bag and sprinkle with the cornstarch. Seal the bag and shake gently to coat.
In the slow cooker, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, and water. Stir. Add the peeled, grated fresh gingerroot, sliced onions, and beef.
Cover, Cook on low for low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours
Serve over rice or fresh salad greens and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds (if desired)
Low-Carb or Keto Friendly Substitutions needed?
Substitute the brown sugar for ½ cup of Truvia or 3-4 Tablespoons Super Sweet Blend, or Sukrin Gold (brown sugar substitute!) depending on your tastes.
Use 1 Tbs Glucomannan in place of the cornstarch, Just stir it into the sauce.
I tried this mongolian beef recipe last night and it was the best mongolian beef I’ve ever had. It was so quick and simple too!
I just cut up some steak, threw it in the slow cooker with mongolian beef sauce ingredients and cooked for 4 hours. It came out so good! I’m definitely going to make mongolian beef this way from now on!
The slow cooker mongolian beef is so tender, it falls apart when you bite into it. The rich sauce has a sweet and savory flavor that complements the spice of an Asian dish well
