We don’t eat a lot of red meat but wow this is such a great recipe. I found it in my old archives of recipes & so glad I did. Super easy, economical dinner that turns into fabulousness via the slow cooker. Perfect for a busy family.
Ingredients:
2 lb flank steak
1/4 c of cornstarch
1/2 c of low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup of good drinking quality white wine
1/2 tbl white wine vinegar
1 tsp of sesame oil
1 tsp of molasses
2 tsp of grated ginger
1/4 c of onion, diced
1/4 tsp of freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes
3 heaping tbl of brown sugar
1 tsp of nut butter (I used organic almond butter)
5 cloves garlic, minced
5 spring onions, chopped
Sesame seeds, toasted, for topping
Dried parsley, topping
Directions:
Slice the meat (with the grain) into thin strips and then coat with the cornstarch. Add the ingredients from soy sauce through spring onions. Mix well. Turn the slow cooker on low and add the meat. Toss and cover. Cook for 6-8 hours on low.
I served this mashed potatoes but brown rice or egg noodles work perfectly too. Top with some parsley and enjoy.

This looks great, when do you add the spring onions?
Shanna, You add them with the other ingredients. I adapted the recipe. I had it through the garlic, not the spring onions. You can also reserve some if you wish to top the meat prior to serving.
Yes…half the spring onions in the pot, half more to sprinkle fresh at serving time. Great recipe, Robin.
Thanks Jeff!
I love my slow cooker and this recipe looks great! I have been thinking about trying Asian-type recipes in the slow cooker too!
Julie, You won’t regret trying this recipe. My kids are still talking about it. I may need to make it again next week 😉 Robin
Love Asian food and Mongolian beef, in particular. What a great idea – use slow cooker for that. Your photo looks very appetizing!
Thanks Julia! This is a very popular recipe in my house. Devoured with no leftovers! Robin oxoxoxo
Totally loving this recipe. I’ve been wanting to use my slow cooker more, and this one looks really delicious. I so have to try it!!
Sara, It is so good! No leftovers so that means a winner
Do you mean 1/4 bottle or 1/4c wine?
cup
Enjoy!
Seems strange to slice with the grain. Usually, you slice flank steak against the grain because it is tough when sliced with the grain. Must have something to do with the crock pot. How cool!
This is one of our favorite recipes!!!
