Change up your weeknight routine with this traditional Slow Cooker Gluten-Free Mongolian Beef. Try adding more vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or bok choy to fire things up.
- Place flank steak and cornstarch into a zip bag and seal. Shake the bag to evenly coat the flank steak with the cornstarch. Allow to steak rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak until evenly browned, 2-4 minutes.
- Place onion, bell pepper, garlic, flank steak, green onions, Tamari, water, sugar, ginger, and hoisin sauce in crock.
- Cover and crock on LOW 4 hours. Serve over rice.
NOTE: Flank steak is thin and has very little fat, and will cook quickly. If your crock tends to cook hot, please check it after 3 hours! The meat is done when it is no longer pink and has reaches desired tenderness.
Optional: If you like a kick you can throw in a few dried hot peppers.
Happy Crocking!

wish you had diabetic croclk pot recipes
Rosina I have a Slimmer Simmer tab on my website at http://www.getcrocked.com. You will find a few recipes there to meet your needs. Hope this helps 🙂
In the directions, you mention to add bell peppers. I don’t see those listed in the ingredients? How much bell pepper should be added?
Hi Dawn, Thanks for the question. I have edited the recipe, but the answer is actually 1/2 – 1 green pepper. It really depends on how much you would like for the recipe. Since green peppers are all different sizes, you may not what a whole pepper, if it is big in size. Happy Crocking!
Where is the best place to find al he Asian condiments
Hi Verona, I am sure it is different in different areas, but I have Asian condiments available at a local market where I live, you may want to ask your grocer where the best place to buy Asian condiments would be. 🙂
After reading the ingredients, I cannot figure what makes the sodium content so very high. What am I missing.
Hi Carol, check your bottle of hoisin sauce, as most of them contain a high mg’s of sodium.
What can I use in place of tamari if I can’t find?
Michelle, you can use Soy Sauce….
do you cut the flank steak up or do you put it in the crock pot hole .
Hello Carey! You cut it up first against the grain into 1 inch pieces. Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
I checked the website for KAME Hoisin sauce and it is not gluten free. The ingredients on the Kame website clearly say wheat flour. I am having a very hard time finding gluten free hoisin sauce, may have to make my own.
I know you can order the following Gluten Free on line, and this brand is gluten free! Wok Mei Gluten Free Hoisin Sauce, 8 oz Jars! Hope this helps! I edited the post for you. When I made this it was a gluten free Hoisin Sauce.
You give the nutritional information. However, what is serving size, and how many does this feed?
Hi Jennifer, You will find the serving size on the upper right hand corner of each page, but happy to share this recipe serves 8! Happy Crocking!
Thank you! I just saw it soon after I asked my question. By the WAY! This was an amazing meal. I am gluten intolerant and good chinese food is what I miss most. I made this for dinner with what meat we had on hand….Top Sirloin, added extra garlic (I LOVE GARLIC), shredded carrots and tripled the green onions (another of my favorites). IT was amazing, and tasted like what I used to eat out at a chinese place. Even my gluten eating husband loved it! WInner! This is going on the monthly menu!
