Mongolian Beef & Broccoli (Crockpot)

Oh boy, this is a gooder! It is def one of our NEW fav quick and easy meals. 
Flank steak works best but really any thinly sliced steak will work. 

Let's just get right to it shall we?

MONGOLIAN BEEF 

Ingredients:
1-2lbs Flank Steak sliced into strips
1/4C Cornstarch
2T Olive Oil
1/2C Brown Sugar
4 Garlic Cloves (minced)
3/4C Sodium Reduced Soy Sauce
3/4C Water
1/2C Brown Sugar
1 Thinly sliced Bell Pepper 
1C grated Carrots

1-2 heads of Broccoli chopped and steamed 
Rice, Rice Noodles, Raman Noddles, Zoodles, Spaghetti Squash, Potatoes, Egg Noddles etc to serve over. 

Directions:
1. Thinly slice steak against the grain and place in crockpot toss with olive oil and cornstarch
2. Mix water, soy sauce, garlic and brown sugar then pour over meat. Cook low for 4-6 hours or high 2-3 hours. 
3. About 30mins-1hour before serving grate your carrots and thinly slice your pepper and add to the crockpot. *this can be done in the beginning but it does overcook the veggies.

Cook the side of your choice as well as broccoli and serve meat over side with broccoli.

Refreshing Watermelon Lemonade

WATERMELON LEMONADE

With Heat Warnings across the board it seems like, I figured to make the boys a fun drink after we were outside for the morning. Ok, to be honest I had a hughjass watermelon that needed to be used up and didn't think we would be able to eat it up in time... LOL. 

What you will need:

4-6Cups diced watermelon(seedless)

1C fresh mint leaves

4 Lemons (Peeled) extra juice if you want more lemony flavour

1C Sugar

2C Water

Blender

Medium sized saucepan

Measuring cups

That is it! 

Heres what you do:

Combine 1Cup mint leaves, 1Cup Water and 1Cup Sugar in a medium saucepan bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins to infuse the mint into this simple syrup. Strain out the mint and cool the simple syrup off completely before using. (store in an airtight container. Mason jar works well!)

Combine cubed watermelon, lemon, 1C water, 1C mint infused simple syrup into a blender and blend on high until fully blended. I use a Ninja and although it didn't get completely smooth it still did the trick. Add extra lemon juice to your liking. 

TIP: if you can try to get all the lemon seeds out of the lemons before you add to the blender. 

Serve over ice and garnish with a slice of lemon and some mint leaves if you choose. You can also add to popsicle molds and make into popsicles! 

Sharing is caring so I would so love and appreciate it if you would pin this recipe, share it on social media with your peeps or leave some love below :) 

Stay cool my friends,
