Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef Directions
- Slice the flank steak into thin strips, cutting against the grain for tenderness.
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar (or sugar substitute), rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
- Lightly spray a skillet with cooking spray (or use vegetable oil) and sear the steak in batches for about 1-2 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Transfer the steak to the slow cooker and pour the sauce mixture over the meat, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle cornstarch over the beef and stir to combine.
- Set the slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- Stir gently during the last 30 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Once done, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice.
