Slow Cooker Sunday- Low Carb Mongolian Beef

Low Carb Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef

Is there anything better than a slow cooker meal? A little bit of effort in the morning and dinner is ready when you come home – hot and inviting!

Sukrin USA is doing a slow cooker Sunday series and as I was lucky enough to be gifted a Ninja Foodi for Christmas, I thought I’d test the slow cooker function of the Foodi. If you don’t know what a Foodi is, it is basically a small appliance that functions as an Instant Pot, a slow cooker, an air fryer and a dehydrator (haven’t tested that last function yet) in one. It worked really well for the purpose of making Mongolian Beef for my family – and using the Liviva Spaghetti with oat fiber was a great success. The Liviva Spaghetti tasted just like noodles when properly soaked in the delicious Mongolian Beef sauce in the slow cooker – and they retained that noodle “bite” because they have the oat fiber!

 

Ingredients:

2 lb flank steak or similar, sliced

2 tbsp oil

3 cloves minced or chopped garlic

2 tsp grated fresh ginger

2/3 cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce)

1/2 cup Sukrin Gold

Red pepper flakes to taste (watch these, they’re spicy!)

Green onions

Sesame seeds

1 pack Liviva Spaghetti with oat fiber

 

Instructions:

Brown the sliced beef in the oil over high heat in a skillet (or by using the sear/saute function of the Foodi)

Transfer the browned beef to your slow cooker, along with any cooking juices. Add garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, Sukrin Gold and a small or larger pinch of red pepper flakes.

Cook on low heat for 4-5 hours.

When getting ready to enjoy, rinse the Liviva noodles under cold water in a colander. Dry and add to the slow cooker. Make sure to soak them properly in the sauce – they will absorb taste from the slow cooked dish.

Top with sesame seeds and green onions and serve.

 

Enjoy!
