Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by slicing the flank steak against the grain into thin strips, about ¼ inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced beef with grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil.
Pour the marinated beef mixture into your slow cooker, spreading it out evenly.
Set your slow cooker to low and cook the Mongolian beef for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, mix cornstarch with a small amount of water to create a slurry.
Once the cooking time is complete, carefully plate the tender beef, drizzling extra sauce on top and garnishing with sliced green onions.
