Slow Cooker

Ingredients

1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 pounds stew beef
4 cloves garlic minced
½ cup honey
½ cup ketchup
½ cup low sodium soy sauce
½ teaspoon dried oregano
sesame seeds for garnish
fresh parsley or scallions optional
1 tablespoon cornstarch if needed

Instructions

To a large skillet over medium high heat, add the sesame oil.
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Add the stew beef and cook until browned. We are not thoroughly cooking the meat, just searing it to lock in flavor.
2 pounds stew beef
Add the seared beef to the basin of a 6 quart slow cooker.
To a medium bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, and oregano and pour over the meat in the slow cooker, stirring to combine.
4 cloves garlic, 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the beef is tender.
If the sauce starts to get too thick before the beef is tender, add ½ cup of water.
If the sauce is too thin, before serving mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with ¼ of water and stir into the sauce.
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Garnish with sesame seeds, parsley, or scallions and serve with rice!
sesame seeds, fresh parsley or scallions

Notes

The beef will take on a dark color because of the soy sauce.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Every slow cooker runs differently. I recommend keeping this one on LOW to avoid burning the honey. Your slow cooker may need up to 6 hours but mine is done at 4 hours.

Every slow cooker runs differently. Times given are a general recommendation and should be tested in your own slow cooker and adjusted as needed.
