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!
