Delicious Crock Pot Mongolian Beef loaded with carrots and asparagus is SO simple to make. Your crock pot does all the work!!

This is one of our favorite Asian recipes that can be made in the slow cooker! We served ours over minute rice but it could made with Crock Pot Rice, Cauliflower Rice, noodles or brown rice.

Who else loves a good crock pot recipe?!

Slow cooker recipes are great any day of the week, but they’re definitely my best friend on Sundays. With church and attempting to rest, I really rely on those Slow Cooker recipes and love that they usually require little work!

Our favorite Sunday crock pot recipe is our Roast recipe since it’s super simple!! Fortunately, I have another great slow cooker recipe to share with you today for Mongolian Beef.

You can easily change it up to your liking using your favorite meat and veggies. I think Broccoli would be a great addition and even some snow peas! 😉 I am seriously obsessed with Asian food and am so glad to have another delicious Crock pot recipe to enjoy on Sundays!

Tips + Variations

Use your favorite cut of beef for these. The recipe card calls for flank steak, but we used sliced chuck roast. Another great cut includes beef tip roast or even sirloin.

For a tender piece of meat slice your flank steak against the grain. The grain are the lines like on wood. Cut across the lines and not alongside them.

Variations

  • Use sliced chicken or pork instead of beef.
  • Add heat with some sliced red chili peppers, sriracha, or sprinkle red chili flakes on top.

STORE leftovers in the fridge or even the freezer. Divide the leftovers into individual serving sized containers. 

  • Fridge: Store for 3-4 days
  • Freezer: Be sure the container is freezer safe and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

REHEAT in the microwave or a skillet on the stove top.

    Great flavor and I appreciated the extra tips like slicing against the grain. I don’t always know to do things like that.

    My family loves Chinese food & I rarely make it at home, since recipes are usually so involved & have a million steps or crazy ingredients. Not this one! Simple & super easy!! It tastes amazing!

    i don’t have cooking sherry for the mongolian beef what can you substitute for it

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Apple cider vinegar is a good substitute for that 🙂

      1. Kim says:

        I see the question for a substitute for sherry but don’t see it in the recipe. Should it be?

      2. LilLunaTeam says:

        Great question! No it is not part of the recipe but could be an addition if desired. 🙂
