👉Ingredients:

↪️1 pound thin-sliced sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch strips

↪️1 tablespoon cornstarch

↪️½ teaspoon salt

↪️¼ teaspoon black pepper

↪️1 tablespoon vegetable oil

↪️1 onion, sliced

↪️2 cloves garlic, minced

↪️1 (14.5 oz) can coconut milk

↪️½ cup soy sauce

↪️¼ cup brown sugar

↪️1 tablespoon fish sauce

↪️½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

↪️½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

👉Instructions:

✅️1. In a large bowl, toss the steak strips with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

✅️2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for about 3–4 minutes per side until browned.

✅️3. Transfer the cooked steak to the crock pot.

✅️4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

✅️5. Pour the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, and chopped cilantro into the crock pot. Stir everything together.

✅️6. Add the cooked rice noodles on top and gently mix.

✅️7. Cover and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours, until the noodles are tender and the sauce is thick and flavorful.

✅️8. Serve hot and enjoy!

👉3 Tips for Best Results:

▶️1. Sear the beef well: Browning the steak adds extra depth of flavor to the final dish — don’t skip this step!

▶️2. Use thick rice noodles: They hold up better during slow cooking and give a perfect chewy texture.

▶️3. Garnish before serving: A sprinkle of fresh cilantro, green onions, or even a squeeze of lime will brighten the flavors beautifully.
