Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef


My baby girl is now three months old . . . seriously, where does the time go? 
I was doing her hair the other day after she got out of the tub and my 5 year old daughter asked me, “Mom, why do you always do Taylor’s hair like a rockstar?”
Ha ha ha!
If that is how rockstars do their hair, then sign me up! I could be a professional stylist in no time at all! Look at that body and volume!!! :)
(I promise that I don’t leave her hair standing on end like in the picture. See picture below!)
Anyway, you may be wondering what this all has to do with Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef. 
To be honest, absolutely nothing. :)
It was just a random tangent.
But I think that is why I love my crock pot so much- throw a couple ingredients in and then spend the rest of my day with my cute kids and cuddling with this sweet baby.
Life is good . . .
. . . and it’s even better when dinner is this yummy.

We absolutely LOVED this dish- the meat was so tender that it just fell apart when we ate it. It tasted amazing!

      Thank you! Yes, the cornstarch is just for coating the steak. It probably wouldn’t hurt if you did throw it in the crock pot, but it’s not necessary! :)

      Add some of the green onions with the other ingredients while it cooks and save some for the end to add to the top of the finished recipe! Hope this helps! -The Six Sisters

    Just made this yesterday afternoon, it was the first ever crockpot recipe my husband really liked and went back for seconds and thirds, he never likes anything made in the crockpot, this recipe was delicious!!!! Definitely will make again

  2. Made this for dinner tonight. Excellent. I will tweek it next time, tho. Low sodium soy sauce and increase the liquid somehow. It cooked down too much and started to burn. Might also cook it on low. This is going into the rotation.

    You make it so easy to eat really well while we are at camp. I set the crock pot up with one of your amazing recipes and then go fishing for the day and come back to a ready meal.
