For busy days I like to keep some super quick and easy recipes on hand like this slow cooker Mongolian beef which is just packed with flavour. My regular stove top version of Mongolian beef is pretty quick and easy to begin with but the slow cooker makes it even easier! You pretty much just throw everything into the slow cooker in the morning and come home to a cooked main, just quickly cook some rice and a veggie to go with it and you are set! The base version this recipe is just the beef in a sauce but you can also throw in some vegetables like onions, carrots, peppers, etc to make more of the meal in one pot. This slow cooker mongolian beef is melt in your mouth tender, tasty and light; a perfect meal for busy days!
Throw some broccoli or green peppers in for the last 30 minutes and serve over rice for a complete meal!
This slow cooker mongolian beef takeout fakeout is so easy to make and it’s lighter and healthier than the restaurant!
Add jalapenos for extra flavour and heat!

I like to cook with slow cooker cause it's easy. Thanks for another beef slow cooking recipe to try.
Looks yummy! I will try this recipe at home
OK, I have a problems with this and the rest of your recipes. I am going to gain pounds around my butt and my thighs. And it’s all going to be YOUR fault. You should be ashamed… ; o)
Lol!! Same here!
You really are a very talented chef Kevin 🙂
Thank you for your fabulous recipes. I really enjoy trying them out.
Do you trim any fat from steak before putting in slow cooker? Do you de-seed the jalapeno? I am making this tomorrow and can’t wait.
Made this last night, tasty but not overwhelming. I would make again but use more ginger and the hot Thai chilies not the jalapeno (I did leave seeds in but didn’t give much flavour or heat). Going to try the wok recipe to see how different it will taste.
this looks so so yummie, can it be freezed?
Yes it can! Enjoy!
We made thin via stir fry and it is excellent. This has become one of our favorite recipes as the stir fry. Quick and excellent
Not even close to any Mongolian Beef I’ve ever had. It’s OK but will not be trying it again.
I’ve made this twice so far. My daughter liked it so much she asked for it for her birthday dinner. I have to mix everything together then split it between 2 crock pots. half my family eats fire, the other half doesn’t. I just have to remember red pot is hot, black pot is not. I paired it with my fried rice and everyone was happy.
