Crockpot Mongolian Beef

Hi everyone:  This was one super recipe and so easy to make in the crockpot.

I've been slacking when it comes to meals so when I saw this recipe I figured I had to try it because it just seemed to be so easy that I couldn't resist it for a light summer meal.

Summer makes me want to use a crockpot whenever I can.  I love salads and easy stove top and skillet dishes but when I want to do a few things that require me out of my house and kitchen well crockpot meals are on the top of my list.

I followed it to the tee for the exception of the meat.  I would have bought the flank steak but couldn't resist the sale the store had on round steak.  I use round steak a lot in crockpot recipes. It's a little more dense so it does have to be baked or complimented with a sauce or gravy and requires a little more cooking to be tender so it's very crockpot friendly.


Enjoy!
