• Put bag of marinating beef in the freezer until the day before you wish to prepare it.
• Remove bag from freezer and put bag into a bowl and place in refrigerator to thaw, at least 24 hours before you wish to prepare the beef.
• Empty bag into the crock of a slow cooker.
• Cook on High until the beef is tender, 2 to 3 hours. Alternately, you can cook this on Low for 4 to 5 hours.

Steps:

Cook, covered, on low 4-5 hours, until meat is tender. , In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into beef. Cook, covered, on high until sauce is thickened, 15-30 minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice. Sprinkle with green onions and, if desired, sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Spray 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
• In slow cooker, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, gingerroot and garlic.
• In large bowl, toss beef with flour to coat. Discard any excess flour.
• In 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Transfer to slow cooker. Repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and half of beef.
• Add broth to skillet; heat to boiling over medium-high heat, scraping up any brown bits at bottom of skillet. Add to slow cooker; stir to combine.

• Mix remaining ingredients in your crock pot and place beef over top.
• Cover and cook for 6 to 8 hours.
• Gently stir the beef into the sauce mixture and serve over rice.

Steps:

• Slice the flank steak thinly across the grain - the strips should be 2 to 3 inches long each; set aside.
• Combine the onion, soy sauce, sherry, broth, garlic, hoisin, brown sugar, ginger, and pepper flakes, then put the mixture into the crock pot.
• Put the cornstarch in a large Ziploc bag; add the sliced beef and toss well to coat.
• Add the coated beef into the crock pot, gently pushing it into the liquid to cover; pour the white wine over - do NOT stir.
• Cook on low for 4 to 5 hours; an hour before you're going to serve, turn the crock pot to high, add the cut scallions, stir, and cook for an additional hour.
• Stir, and serve over rice or noodles.
• Note: if I wasn't doing a challenge (ie I can't go to the store to buy things I'm out of) there are things I'd do differently; although I searched high and low in the freezer for some ginger root, it seems to have disappeared - so I used ground -- next time it'll be fresh. Also, if you don't like your Mongolian Beef slightly sweet as the restaurants around here serve it, you can cut back on the brown sugar.
