Crockpot Mongolian Beef

This is a tasty recipe.  I adapted this recipe from a Food Network recipe for Mongolian Beef Sandwiches with Black Bean Aioli.

Ingredients:

-2 to 3 lbs. beef roast

-1/2 cup canola oil

-1 tbsp sesame oil

-1/2 cup soy sauce

-1/2 cup red wine {you could probably substitute beef broth or maybe even chicken stock}

-2 tbsp minced garlic

-1/2 cup sliced scallions {about 1-2 bunches}

-1/2 tbsp pepper

Process:

1. Heat a skillet to medium-high heat and sear roast on all sides.

You're not looking to cook the roast, but to put a good golden sear on the outside for added flavor.  You'd be surprised how much better a crockpot recipe tastes when you take a little extra time to do this.

2. Combine canola oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, wine and garlic.  Mix well.

3. Add scallions and mix well. Set aside.

4. Place a cutting board on a kitchen towel, place the roast on the cutting board and allow the roast to rest for about 10 minutes.
5. Slice roast against the grain in slices about 1/4 inch thick.

6. Add sliced beef to crockpot mixture.

7. Turn crockpot to low and allow to cook for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

Enjoy beef and sauce over rice!
