Crock Pot Mongolian Beef

This is a great recipe for Mongolian Beef and, the best part is, you can make it in your crock pot!  I threw this together for dinner in about 10 minutes, let it cook all afternoon, then cooked up some jasmine rice to serve on the side and it was delicious!  You could also put this together the night before and plunk it in the crock pot in the morning!  Dinner!  Done!

Crock Pot Mongolian Beef (adapted from keyingredient.com)

2 lb. beef stew meat
2 T. cornstarch
1/4 t. dried ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 c. soy sauce
3/4 c. water
1/2 c. brown sugar
3 medium carrots, shredded
1 t. crushed red pepper 
1/2 t. salt
6 green onions, chopped and divided

Place the beef in the crock pot and sprinkle with the cornstarch.  Toss to coat the beef.  Add ginger, garlic, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, carrots, crushed red pepper, salt and 3 chopped green onions.  Stir to combine.  Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours.  Sprinkle with remaining green onions before serving.
