Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef

Recipe from allrecipes.com
Ingredients:
1 pound flank steak, cut into bite-size
pieces
1/4 cup cornstarch

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic

3 large green onions, sliced diagonally
into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
Directions:
1. Place flank steak and cornstarch into a resealable plastic bag. Shake the bag to evenly coat the flank steak with the cornstarch. Allow to steak rest for 10 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir steak until evenly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Place onion, garlic, flank steak, green onions, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ginger, and hoisin sauce in a slow cooker. Cook on Low setting for about 4 hours.

i modified it slightly -

• i doubled the amount of meat, but used 1.5 amount of sauce
• i used half the brown sugar requested
• i diced the onion

  2. Agreed, it was yummy, but would have preferred a lot of spice. Meat was very tender!
