Calories 280kcal
Equipment
- large oval slow cooker
Ingredients
For the sauce:
- 80 ml dark soy sauce
- 60 ml rice wine
- 60 ml water
- 20 g Demerara or brown sugar
For the main dish:
- 1 onion diced
- 600 g diced beef
- 3 cloves of garlic crushed
- 2 tsp lazy ginger chopped (or 1-2 cm ginger, grated)
- 4 spring onions chopped
- Optional: 1 red chilli chopped finely
Instructions
- Bring the sauce ingredients to the boil in a small pan and cook until reduced by half and thickened.
- Brown the beef in batches in a hot pan. I did this dry, without oil, but you can use a little oil if you wish.
- Place the onion and browned beef in the slow cooker pot.
- Pour over the sauce, and top with the garlic and ginger.
- Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7-8 hours.
- Serve with chopped spring onions and red chillis, over white rice.
Notes
Note: as I mentioned above this recipe has a little sauce only. If you would like yours to have more sauce, double the sauce ingredients. Do still reduce the sauce to thicken it before adding to the slow cooker.
