Most people think of crockpots as a fall/winter cooking tool, but they can be awesome dinner savers year round! I try to plan crockpot meals when I have a full day of appointments and the last thing I want to worry about at the end of the day is preparing dinner. As much as I love Chinese food, most restaurant dishes are packed with questionable ingredients and crazy amounts of sodium, so I’m always looking for new recipes to try at home. This Monogolian beef dish is so easy to throw together and can be done on your lunch break. Next time I’m going to throw in some broccoli as well, but we loved this dish and will definitely be making it again in the future!

Instructions
- Slice the flank steak into thin strips and toss in a small bowl with the cornstarch to evenly coat.
- In a crockpot, combine the olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, water, brown sugar and carrots. Stir to mix.
- Place the sliced flank steak in the crockpot and stir around to make sure the meat is covered with the sauce.
- Cook on high for 2-3 hours, or low for 4-5 hours (I always recommend low)
- Serve over brown rice and topped with green onions.

Sounds delicious!! And anything that can be done in a crockpot is a win in my book!
I agree – crockpots are perfect for any season, especially those super busy days.
Mongolian beef is one of my all time favorite meals! I love this crock pot version, and I cannot wait to give it a try.
