This was phenomenal, really delicious. Easy to follow directions & a tasty dish. The family said it tasted like real Chinese takeaway. Thanks for this one! Highly recommend

Delicious. I doubled the sauce but used 1/4 soy sauce and 1/4 sweet soy sauce and only 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Added red capsicum and carrot sticks into the slow cooker for the last 40 minutes, and added steam broccoli florets when serving. Will definitely be making again.

This recipe is delicious I doubled sauce garlic and ginger and sauce but would t double the sugar next time itβs still delicious but only needs just over 1/4 cup brown sugar when you double sauce recipe this is going to be one of my favourites moving forward my teenage girls and husband loved it π

Love this recipe. I add some capsicum and celery to mine just for some extra flavour.

I loved the recipe but ended up with too much corn flour which made it ‘gluggy’. My intention was to make this for a CWA event for 40 and I decided the slicing was a pain for so many, instead I then did the recipe (doubled and used beef stock instead of water) and did a slow cook pulled beef, it worked really well and will be far easier to do for 40 than all the slicing.

I halved the sugar and tripled the water, added, carrot, capsicum and bamboo shoots. At teh end I stirred in a packet of hokkien noodles and served with bok choy. I would do it again.

OMG super delicious!!

Love this dish! Flavour is amazing and the meat so tender.

I have made this many many times. It was on the roster again this week. Quite salty but I love salt so no probs there for me. Would be less salty if you used salt reduced soy sauce. I have found that thickening at the end with the cornflour is better than at the beginning (putting your beef strips in a bag with the corn four ) as it tends to go too thick whilst cooking and I have to water it down hence losing a bit of the Mongolian flavour. I absolutely recommend this recipe. It is a firm favourite in our house πππ

Many don’t pre brown … it would fit in any size really but the bigger ones like 6L, being emptier, will cook a little faster than the 3L range
Jennifer
January 6, 2021
Just wondering… what size slow cooker is best for this recipe? And is it essential to brown the meat first or can it go straight into the slow cooker (I have very limited kitchen space)? Thanks!!

5 stars from me! Whole family loved it including my 18month old who ate 3 serves!

This is the best Mongolian beef ever!!! My fiancΓ© fell in love with me a little more when I made it hehe so so delicious I doubled the meat and did 1/3 cup instead of 1/4 cup of Ingredients and it was perfect! Put it on top of some basmati rice and sprinkled with sesame seeds my fiancΓ© is already requesting I make it again π

Made this tonight for the first time and it was a massive hit! I doubled the meat and sauce ingredients except for the sugar. Prefect! My husband said itβs better than what he gets at the Chinese restaurant.

Leah Haskell

I only have diced rump steak would you tweak the recipe at all to accommodate? I dont want to slice up the meat anymore….
Chantel

Loved it. Both hubby and 2 year old smashed it. Served it with the fried rice for baby slow cooker and was perfect. I did it with gravy beef will have to try rump next time.

Made it for the first time yesterday and although it was nice and was eaten by every one , even the fussy 2 year old,
I found it incredibly sweet.
I followed the recipe exactly but ended up adding some rice wine vinegar for some acidity
I will make it again but will change things around so its not so sweet.
Christine
September 17, 2020
Such a fabulous recipe. I followed the recipe, but did double everything and use shin instead. I wasnβt sure how the shin would go, but itβs pretty good. I would use something else next time. I think this will become a favourite in my house .

Soooooooo delicious! I used 900gm blade steak & doubled the sauce recipe.
I added sliced yellow zucchini & baby broccoli for the last hour & stirred in 2 packs of hokkien noodles at the end.
Enough left over for dinner tonight as well.
Stacey

A+ was absolutely delicious
Used rump steak, only because it was cheaper than Chuck steak, was so tender and flavoursome. I added in last 10 min bag of frozen winter veggies that I briefly zapped in microwave first.
Had no onions but wasnt fussed, will be new weekly favourite.
Kathryn
June 13, 2020
I made this tonight and it was delicious! Even my super fussy five year old wolfed it down. This is definitely going on the weekly menu.
Kathy

Made this exactly as per the recipe, after reading all the fantastic reviews – thought it was average. Not flavourful & would not make again.
Rachel

Mongolian beef so yummy and full of flavour. I didn’t have spring onion and added mushrooms. Comments went from what’s this to more please. Definite winner.
Kayla
June 9, 2020
I tried this for the first time the other day and it was so yummy!!
It was a hit with everyone in my house!
I served it with rice.
Next time i make it im going to add diced red capsicum, red onion & zuchinni towards the end of the cooking time for my veg.

I made this for the first time and it was absolutely delicious – a real winner with my son and husband too! I added sliced red capsicum and broccolini in the bottom of the slow cooker before adding the meat….very nice
Megan Clavey
May 25, 2020
This recipe is amazing i changed up the amount of the sauces because I had a little extra meat and it still turned out yum.
Will definitely make this again when I have family over π

Natalie Dodds
May 15, 2020
This is so yum! In fact, every recipe I cook off this site is a winner! I served it with jasmine rice and steamed carrot and green beans. My Daughter asked me to make again sooner rather than later. Would love to try it with lamb strips or chicken strips too.
Belinda B
May 13, 2020
Despite being one of the most popular recipes in this group, I hadnβt yet tried the Mongolian beef. I prefer a βChuck it all in and let it cook for 8 hoursβ slow cooker meal, and this is not one of those. But today I was at home and had the time to do the prep, and boy was it worth it!! I followed the recipe, but added chopped carrots and broccoli for the last hour, and the whole family (including lately fussy 6 year old) loved it. The smell of it as it cooked was amazing, and the flavour and texture were delectable! Will definitely be making it again.
Thimitra
May 11, 2020
My family loved this dish! I followed the recipe exactly, but threw in some shredded carrot because I had some in the fridge. I also used sliced blade steak because thatβs what I had. Turned out so tender and delicious – just like from a Chinese restaurant!

Love this dish. Made it several times now. I donβt measure Anything exactly but itβs always lovely. Have used both flank or rump. I like to add some mixed veg towards the end of the cook. Really flavoursome and filling dish.

Holy moley wow, made this for the first time to and just yummmmmm. I added broccoli into the slow cooker and served with mash and other veg. Will definitely be making this one again.
Krystle
May 4, 2020
Very tasty. Definitely needs veggies added. I added capsicum, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms and broccoli in the last 45 mins. The carrot didnβt cook in time so maybe do without that next time or slightly steam first. Very flavoursome.
Amber

This is amazing, our meat just melted away in our mouth. Only con is the dish is really sweet. Will make again and adjust will chilli or less sugar.

This is my favorite slow cooker recipe. I stir fried some snap peas, broccolini, mushroom, capsicum and garlic in a little sesame oil and stirred through the meat before serving on brown basmati rice, A family favourite now
Nichole

Jan Dobson
March 6, 2020
Have made this a few times. Absolutely lovely dish. I make with Gluten Free Soy and Hoisin Sauce, so everyone can eat it. Instead of mixing meat and Cornflour in a bag I mix in a bowl, as I find it easier. Is a regular in the slow cooker π

I’d add them in the last hour Janelle myself if the broccoli etc are largish florrets
Janelle
February 29, 2020
Making this again tonight – always a favourite – but going with the common suggestion of vegetables at the end. Just wondering when βat the endβ youβve added vegetables? Last hour, half hour? Iβm adding cauliflower, broccoli and capsicum. TIA

We used a kilo of thin sliced beef strips. I also added 850g bag of Chinese stir fry veg in the last hour of cooking (and turned it to high during this last hour to account for the frozen veg). Absolutely delish served with Oriental rice

Hi Pauline, do you think splenda/steevia would work instead of brown sugar? Just trying to make it that little bit healthier.

Will make again.
Sharon

This is a family favourite. I don’t use the hoisin or the ginger ( family are not a fan of ginger). I made this last night and added broccoli, mushroom and capsicum to make it go a little further. I don’t brown my meat first, I just coat in cornflour and throw it in with the sauce and onion and garlic. Put the other vegies in towards the end, so as not to overcook them. Very, very yummy and super easy

Bobbie

I donβt know what happened but my sauce was like a thick chunky jelly. The more liquid I added the thicker it got. Also did not like the texture of the meat. The flavour was nice but I wouldnβt make it again.
Debbie
October 22, 2019
My partner and I cooked this together and it turned out to be absolutely perfect! π We added Γ2 bags of Asian frozen veggies towards the end and served with rice, just stick to quantities and ingredients in recipe. Better than the food you’d buy from an asian restaurant/take-out store. Big fan, thank you for sharing! π

August 8, 2019
Made this last night but added 1 sliced red capsicum at the beginning along with 1tsp dried red chilli half way through and broccolini heads 10 mins before serving. It was good but I think it could do with a little less sugar in the recipe – without the chilli it may have been too sweet. The recipe doesn’t specify Light Soy or Dark Soy but I used 1/4 cup of light soy and added a splash of dark soy. A “dash” of sesame oil was for me was 3 splashes (I like the stuff). Served it up with additional sliced spring onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. We enjoyed it.
Kristie Corr
July 23, 2019
Love this! Great flavour. I found it went watery during cooking but it thickened after I cooked the last 30mins with the lid off. I added carrot, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, capsicum, onion, spring onions .. Iβd probably just quickly stir fry them next time rather than cook them with the beef.. might stop the water.. and veggies wonβt be too soft. The kids have asked for it again.. (so thatβs a win) and I had left over to do meals for my mum.
Lisa
July 21, 2019
Love this recipe! Easy to make, super tasty and the whole family enjoyed it (even super fussy miss 12) I stirred through blanched green beens, carrots and brocolli just before serving on a bed of rice. Will definitely become one of my regulars!
Emma
July 20, 2019
Delicious! I stirred a bag of frozen Asian vegetables in for the last half hour and it worked a treat. Will definitely do again. Oh, I was lazy and didnβt pre cook/brown the meat. Just threw it all in.

Had this on during the week so dinner would be sorted. Teenage boys got in from school and thought theyβd have a βsnackβ. They ate it all with bread! So dinner for 4 turned into an afternoon snack for 2. Iβve got no clue how it tasted but two teenage boys are requesting it again ASAP!
Krystal
June 13, 2019
I made this on Monday night!!! was so delicious. I added 1 large chilli with some holes poked in it to release the heat only because we love a bit of spice. We also used oyster cut because there was not alot of options at Woolies. Was a huge hit!

I made this and meat was a little chewy. So next time I am going to velvet the meat first. What is velveting meat I hear some people are asking. Velveting meat is what is used in Chinese cooking. You rub bicarb sods over meat leave for about 10 15 minutes then make sure all bicarb is rinsed off thoroughly then cook your meat in Asian dish and you will get the same texture as what you get from a Chinese restaurant. Learnt this when I was cooking (apprentice)
Amanda Young

I had to double the ingredients as I’m feeding 5 ppl was very watery but tasted Devine I will make again as my taste buds were dancing π

Leigh B

Made this for the first time this week. It was really, really good. I was pleasantly surprised that it was perfect – not too salty and not too sweet. I had to adjust quantities as I used more beef, but it all worked with the same proportions. I added carrot, capsicum and broccolini after 2 hours and then cooked them in for the remaining 2 hours. Added a little bit extra cornflour to thicken the sauce before serving. Definitely a winner. Thank You.

Sue Cooper
June 27, 2018
My first ever slow cooker fail unfortunately.
I followed recipe but it turned out so very salty and the meat was like pulled beef after just 2 hours on low.
I used rump steak so knew I needed to cook far less time … Iβm thinking my sunbeam sear runs way too hot for this dish.
Iβll try it in my trusty old Kambrook ceramic next time and use light soy sauce instead of dark maybe?
Itβs all about trial and error .. Iβm still a huge fan of slow cooking π
Lori
June 27, 2018
I made this last week for myself while my husband was away for work and was so impressed, I made it again last night so he could enjoy it too. He almost licked the bowl!
I’ve read a lot of comments asking if the hoisin sauce is essential to the recipe – personally I think it is. I tasted a tiny bit of the hoisin sauce while making the dish and this is where all the delicious spiciness comes from for sure.
Amazing dish. Will be on regular rotation. Just wish I could get my fussy kids to eat it!
Alysha Nichols

Karen McKay
May 30, 2018
This is a fantastic recipe. Made it exactly as the recipe states just added carrots at the beginning as well. Was absolutely brilliant. The family loved it and said it tasted just like Chinese shop bought. Served with rice but definitely a stayer in our house. Thankyou slowcookercentral
Rosanna Hetherington

Had the Mongolian last night and it was a win with everyone. Hubby thought it was close to Chinese shop taste and both kids ate it all no probs and my youngest is a picky eater who will at times take 2 hours to eat or fall asleep to get out of eating.
Sarah
May 28, 2018

This dish was so tasty!! I found it a bit sweet for our likings so will half the brown sugar next time. Apart from that beautiful…full of flavour! Also added carrots and beans to it and ate with plain rice!! I did it the ‘chinese style’ by soaking my beef in a little baking soda and water before cooking as apparently this is how they do it to make it extra tender and honestly amazing!! I will do this little trick with every red meat i cook in the future it melted in our mouths!! Sensational π

Finally tried this recipe out and what can I say what a wonderful flavor! So easy and you don’t even need to thicken the sauce as it gets a great consistency on its own. With just the right amount of sauce to go with the lovely tender meat, will definitely be making this again.

I made this for the first time and based on earlier feedback I was expecting a strong flavour. It did not disappoint!! Really easy to make and really tasty meal. I will definitely make this again and it lends it self to doubling or tripling the recipe if you have a large crew to feed. I served it with the site’s fried rice recipe. First time for both recipes and both were real winners!!

This was delicious! I lightly steamed some chopped broccoli, carrots and zucchini and stirred them through for the last half hour of cooking time and served it with rice.
We will be having this again!

I’d like to substitute the sugar for 1/4 cup of Rice Malt Syrup. I wonder whether anyone has tried this? I’m just trying to cut back on the sugar…but it sounds delicious!

Made this for the first time. Family loved it. The only thing I might change next time is a dash of sweet chilli sauce.
I have 2 fussy eaters and they both went back for seconds.
Thank you so much for sharing.

YUM! I made beef stock and put this in instead of plain water. I separately steamed carrot and (tinned) baby corn and mixed this through just before serving.

Is 4 hours enough cooking time for chuck steak?? I usually cook chuck for 8 hours.

Made this for the second time tonight, my husband absolutely loves it. Adding to favourites list. I am now addicted to this site, the recipes are so easy. I did add some sliced up leek as I didn’t have spring onions.

This is one of my favourite meals to make in the slow cooker. It is so easy, fairly cheap (I get about 5 lots of it from medium sized bottles of soy and hoisin at approx $2.50/bottle and the steak is a cheap cut as well), and absolutely delicious. Everyone loves it from kids to adults. Total winner.

Not a fan! I made it once before and didn’t like the taste so tried it again, thinking I may have done something wrong…… nope, just not a fan of the flavour!
Not sure if it’s because I love the Chinese version and it’s nothing like this!! Maybe I’m just picky!

I made this with lamb and it was delicious! It’s a very strong flavour but I love hoi-sin sauce so that’s OK. I served with rice and stir-fry veg.

Loved this dish as does my usually fussy son. I’ve made it many times and found it a little salty at first but i now reduce the amount of soy sauce and add capsicum and carrot. Perfect!

Ange Marie

This was a yummy recipe.
Next time I will cook for 2.5 as at 3hrs my meat was dry so i didnt cook it for the 4hrs stated in the recipe. It could be my slow cooker might cook hotter. I also added 1 carrot sliced, 1/2 cup sliced capsicum, 1/2 cup beans cut in half & I added them at the beginning next time i will add them at 2hrs. I also added some freshly chopped chilli to hubbys he liked it. I will make it again.

So do you need to chop up the chuck steak before cooking or you just brown the big steaks and it falls apart in the sc anyway?
Amanda

I’ve made this numerous times and each time it is loved by one and all. My Uncle tried it last year for the first time and OMG he went back for seconds and I’m talking big servings here. Now he is nagging my Aunt to make it for him π Great and easy meal to make. I always make double so I have leftovers π

One of the first few things I could get the fussy 16 year old to eat from the slow cooker – love the way it wafts through the house while cooking too – YUM!

Wow. Once reading that this was better than store bought, I had to try it. I must say, it didn’t disappoint. I had about 1.1 kg of beef, so I doubled the recipe. And this time, I adjusted my cooking time to compensate for my slow cooker, and the meat turned out absolutely beautiful. I ended up cooking it for 3 hours on low instead of the 3.5 – 4 hours.
The family’s only real negative was they found the sauce to be a bit intense, but all that means is that next time I make it (and there will definitely be a next time), I will probably reduce the amount of the sauce a little or add a bit more water.

It wasn’t as spicy as it is when you get it take-away, but that was perfect for my daughter who wouldn’t usually touch it. She ate every last bit! Great flavour. Definitely on our ‘do again’ list.

This was very delicious when I tried it for the first time last week. I did have to cook it for longer to get the meat tender though, but that’s no biggie π

I had a few problems frying up the beef strips (they stuck to the pan!) but overall this was a success. I also cooked it for 5-6 hours and the meat was beautifully tender.

Thinking of trying this, do you need to brown the meat or can I throw it in the slow cooker raw? Thanks!

This is really lovely, I enjoyed the sweetness but my hubby didn’t. Would cut out the sugar totally to reduce the sweetness and maybe up the soya sauce a little. Will make again. Thank you

Very sweet, I loved it, but should you have a family member not keen on sweet tasting meat rather leave out the sugar.

Cooked this with diced lamb, added some sliced green capsicum, and about 1/2 tsp chilli towards the end as I felt it needed a bit of heat, and some black pepper, sprinkled over some thinly sliced spring onions before serving with steamed rice, cooked for around 4 hrs might cook a little longer next time, a beautiful tasty dish.

Great easy recipe! One of my favorite ones in the book. It’s versatile, you can add any vegetables if you want to & freezes well. I did substitute the sugar for approx 20gms of sugar & still tasted great.

I made it with light soy sauce to reduce the saltiness. Also added some pepper & a dash of chilli flakes for a little bit of heat. Towards the end I threw in some broccoli and capsicum to make it a complete meal. Served with rice & a sprinkle of sesame seeds at the end….. Yum!

Question: Do you slice up the beef before putting it in the slow cooker or do you put the whole steak in?

Just made this recipe following exactly except we had almost 2 pounds of flank steak because that is what was in package. We really liked it. I cooked it for 4 hours but felt like it was done after about 3. It seemed like the longer it cooked the more intense the flavor. I will be making it again.
Brenda

Very rich. Used rump steak very thinly sliced. Nice flavour but too rich for me, although my husband really enjoyed it. Think I would prefer a lighter variation.

This sauce also works great with lamb. I also like to stir through my steamed veggies just before serving
