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!Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds beef flank steak, cut into stir-fry sized strips
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup shredded carrots
3 medium green onions, chopped
Directions:
Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place cornstarch in a bowl. Coat each piece of steak in cornstarch and place in crock pot. Discard any remaining cornstarch. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl and pour over beef in crock pot. Cook in crockpot on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours. Serve over rice, topped with additional sliced green onions.

ReplyDeleteYour little baby girl is simply adorable! Love all that hair! This dinner looks great!
ReplyDeleteShe's so sweet Camille! Congrats! And the food looks great too :)
ReplyDeleteyour baby is adorable~ i was wondering if the 1/4c cornstarch is for coating the steak, or is it in addition in the bowl mix? thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank 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! :)
DeleteDo the green onions only go in after you've cooked, or do some go in while cooking?
ReplyDeleteAdd 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
DeleteWow! The green onions look so good in the photo! I'm definitely trying this!
ReplyDeleteI made this for dinner tonight, it was amazing! I used tamari instead of soy sauce, we are gluten free. This will be added to our recipe box. :-)
ReplyDeleteJust 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
ReplyDeleteThis dish looks heavenly! My husband is a big fan of asian recipes at home and this one is going on my menu this week!

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.
ReplyDeleteOk, so i'm ready to put the slow cooker on, but im stuck. When exactly do we put the 2 chopped babies in there?
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteFound this recipe on Pinterest and now it's sitting in my crock pot making the house smell amazing...can't wait to try it!
