I loved this ... my family didn't, which is a bummer. I thought the flavor was very good. I don't think my kids were fond of the hoisin. I ran out of time in the morning, so I just stuck a "london broil" cut in the crock pot whole and covered it with the ingredients. It cooked on low for about 9 hours. I couldn't even pick the meat up to cut it, it just fell apart. I said that I wished the sauce had been thicker, but then remembered that I was supposed to have coated the meat in cornstarch first. Duh. Anyway ... I enjoyed it. Served it on brown rice with chopped broccoli and julienne carrots.

great flavor, but the consistency of the veggies left much to be desired. the meat was incredible, though.

Great flavor. I added a head of broccoli at the end but it overcooked. Turned to mush. Next time I will add veggies for last 10 minutes.

I used steak I had on hand and cut into strips. Mixed it raw with the cornstarch right in the slow cooker. Threw everything else on top and added 3 dried oriental peppers and cooked on high for 4 hours stirring occasionally. It was amazing!! So thick and saucy!

This turned out AMAZING! I will not order out for this ever again, though I may change the cut of beef...not sure yet. I have made a few changes to the recipe, but nothing major. I am adding 1/2 can of baby corn and 1 can oriental mushrooms. I am using low sodium soy instead of regular. I am also lowering the amount of brown sugar (not by much though). I grate the ginger instead of mince it so it incorporates into the sauce better. I'm not a huge fan of green onions, but they turned out well, though I cooked them in the pan with the oil before adding the beef and left them in while it cooked. Oh, I didn't use a whole 1/2 cup of hoisin sauce either. I dropped that to about 1/4 cup.

This was very easy. I doubled meat and didnt cut back sugar. My husband wouldnt even taste it the first night but tried a bite from my son the next day. When i got home from work his first words were " that stuff is slammin can u make some more". So this recipe is a keeper!
