About

Mongolian Beef actually has its origin in Taiwanese Mongolian Barbeque, which has nothing to do with either Mongolia or barbeque. Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef takes the stir-fried, sweet, sour, and savory flavors of the traditional dish and makes it easy. With just 10 minutes of prep time, you can have Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef and its tangy, salty, garlic-infused sauce made, essentially, for you instead of by you. Nothing says welcome home than seeing this meal ready to eat!
