Slow-Cooker Mongolian Beef over Rice

I have been craving Chinese-Asian food. It is making me crazy. I don’t care what dish we have at this point – Lemon Chicken, Fried Rice, Beef and Broccoli. It all sounds delicious. Hubby and I were talking that I might need to whip up a giant batch of chicken and make different sauces – one Sweet and Sour, one Lemon and one Orange Chicken.

When this pandemic stay-home order is lifted, I don’t know where we will run to first – our favorite Chinese or our favorite Mexican. I’m thinking Mexican. We love the wait-staff and miss them very much. And we love the margaritas, although Hubby has perfected his bar-skills beautifully.

Hum, wonder what kind of cocktail goes well with Mongolian Beef?
