Mongolian beef

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.

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 .. I’d probably just quickly stir fry them next time rather than cook them with the beef.. might stop the water.. and veggies won’t be too soft. The kids have asked for it again.. (so that’s a win) and I had left over to do meals for my mum.

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!

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 didn’t pre cook/brown the meat. Just threw it all in.

So delicious 😋 definitely will be making this again

Trust the reviews, this recipe is delicious!!

Absolutely scrumptious!!!

Had this on during the week so dinner would be sorted. Teenage boys got in from school and thought they’d have a “snack”. They ate it all with bread! So dinner for 4 turned into an afternoon snack for 2. I’ve got no clue how it tasted but two teenage boys are requesting it again ASAP!

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!

Made this for my partner tonight, he loves Mongolian anything and absolutely loved this. I added stir fry vegies in the last half hour. Will try with lamb and chicken in future also. Big thumbs up from him 👍🏾

First time trying this recipe , verdict was absolutely amazing , got the big thumbs up in our house will definitely be in our frequent list , followed the recipe without changing anything , perfect results

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)

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 😃

OMG, AMAZEBALLS!!!!! hubby really liked it too. Definitely making again 🍽💚

I made this as one of 8 dishes for my 50th birthday party for 40 people. It was a definite hit.
My 19 yr old now wants to make it for himself.

AMAZING!!!

We just love this. My husband makes sure we have it at least once a fortnight. It’s delicious. 😊😊😊

Love this recipe, the whole family loves it even miss fussy 9 yr old. I also like to add a carrot to the recipe

First time making this one.
YUM!!!!
That is all.

Is it ok to double this recipe? Any variations required?

This was a hit in our house, with a fussy teenager who hates most things in the slow cooker

Tried this for the first time tonight very yummy
It was a hit 👍

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.

Ooh this was delicious, even hubby commented how yummy it was.

This was amazing. Family loved this. Doubled the ingredients for our family night dinner, turned out perfect. Will be making this again.

Yum yum yum! I substituted sugar free maple syrup for the brown sugar and it tasted great. I was a but worried that it wouldn’t be sweet but it tasted just right.

Omg, such a hit for my fussy partner, I cook it for guests and they always ask for the recipe. Seriously better than the Chinese shop, and no msg.

Made this and served it with homemade coconut rice! Was amazing, whole family loved it, will double the ingredients next time so we have more leftovers 😊

Husband licked his lips and asked for more. Served with white rice and broccolini……….yum

Oh my lord this is divine i served it with creamy mash potatoes.

Disappointing. After reading the reviews I was expecting something special, but to me and my family it tasted bland. May make again, but will definitely be modifying the recipe.

My eldest son requested we have this for the next 3 nights!! I added broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, red and green capsicum as well as some Singapore noodles as I didn’t have any rice. So yummy! I had all empty bowls in my house – winner!

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.

Dinner was Amazing! No shallots as I didn’t have any and ground ginger not fresh but soi good! We added thinly sliced carrot, zucchini and green capsicum in the last 30mins. Id probs double the sauce bext time as we love sauce ♥

With baby No. 3 due to arrive any day now, my slow cooker has become my savior! Husband gave it a thumbs up and I also got a “Thank you – that was nice”.

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 🙂

Omg! Yum! Followed the recipe and everybody loved it !

Delicious flavours. I think I had a little too much liquid, so it was a bit runny, but the flavours were rich and fragrant. Will make this again!

when the kids who are fussy eaters, sit down try a mouthful, then continue to shovel it into their mouths, and don’t say a word til they have completely cleaned the bowls, you know it’s a winner!!!

This is always a winner at our house with everyone going back for seconds! I also throw some carrots in to bulk it out a bit more. Thanks for sharing 😊

Oh my god. YUM. My favourite slow cooker meal so far. Absolutely amazing. Everyone devoured it.

Made Mongolian Beef for dinner tonight . Served it with fried rice and stir fried vegetables. It was absolutely yummy . A real winner in my home . Will definitely be making this again

Made this tonight for tea served with fried rice and stir fried vegetables.
It was absolutely yummy. Was a winner in my home . Will definitely be making this again.

Made this today but replaced the beef with lamb. It was delicious. Will definitely make it again

Demolished!!! I’m usually very critical of anything I cook (much to my husbands frustration!). I cannot actually fault this recipe!

I’ve made this before and omgodness tasted like it was brought from a Chinese restaurant. Was so good. Making it again tonight.

An absolute winner! Doubled the recipe and served on fried rice. Perfect Father’s Day lunch and four meals for leftovers. Added 3 chopped up chilli’s and seeds and gave it the minor hint of heat I was looking for to complement the magnificent flavour

This was so easy and so delicious!! Served with rice and steamed vegies. Will definitely be making it again.

I think i used the wrong cut of steak so was a little tough but amazing otherwise

Love this. I didn’t realize how many I would like it.

I didnt brown the beef and found it to be a yummy and easy dish that was a big hit. Will definately be on my favourite list

Made for the first time tonight. Was a success! Served with coconut rice. Added to my folder of favourites that I have been printing out. Definitely making again.

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!!

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.

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!

This was so good….and the aroma going through the house was awesome loved it thank you 😃

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!

Just love this dish, will definitely make again. I used rump steak thinly sliced. Next time will double recipe. Thanks for sharing

This was one of the best dishes I have made in the SC. The sauceis amazing and the meat so tender. Loved it

I doubled the recipe as we are a large family and it was loved by all… 5 kids no complaints 4 asked for seconds!! Must try!

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.

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 😀 Great and easy meal to make. I always make double so I have leftovers 🙂

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.

Delicious! A huge fav with the whole family! I added lots of veggies to our mix, yum!

This was delicious! I didn’t cook the meat first and was still great! Will definitely make this again!

Made this for dinner tonight. Was very tasty! Add broccoli and carrot, served with rice 🙂

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.

Big hit with my family just a little rich but was still super yummy

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 🙂

It was great. Full of flavour but also light. Went well with rice. Will be making it again

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.

I made this last night after reading the comment I halted the amount of sugar and put some green pepper and mushrooms and chili false in it was delicious the beef just melted in your mouth def make this again

Made this last night and it was a hit, tasted so good. Added mushrooms, carrots, snow peas and capsicum also and worked a treat

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.

This is a 10/10 in our house. A huge hit with both young and old.

Didn’t go down too well with our family the meat just melted in your mouth but didn’t enjoy the sauce not a favourite in our house wouldn’t make it again

Absolutely amazing dish, a family favourite, even with 3 fussy teenage sons!!

I added a bag of Chinese vegetables to this. Was rather excited to try as so many people had been posting about it but I wasn’t really impressed with this recipe. Was ok but would not make again

We tried this for the first time today – delicious! Will definite be adding it to our list.

This recipe is great. I haven’t seen my partner so excited about his lunch the next day at work lol.. even my 3 year old loved it.

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.

Whole family loved this. It was Devine and I’ll happily make it again. I used sweet soy sauce instead of normal soy.

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 this a few weeks ago and it was Devine. I plan on making this tonight but I’ll double ever thin so hubby has crib for a week

This dish is one of our Favorites, just delishious ☺

A very tasty dish and one that will be on a regular rotation in our house 🙂
I added a few veg near the end – and it was perfect.

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!

way too salty for our family

had seen this popping up on Facebook and decided to give it a go,well it is absolutely gorgeous a new favorite in our household

this one is a favorite in our house we have it often

Delicious! I added some chilli in as my partner loves hot Mongolian beef and it was a hit!

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
