Welcome to Live Well by Raquel, where I share easy and wholesome recipes to nourish your body and mind.
Slow Cooked Saucy Asian Beef is a recipe I made up as I was recording for my YouTube Channel. I really wanted to highlight how easy a Slow Cook recipe is to throw together mid week for a family. This recipe is also super affordable to make as we are cooking with Gravy Beef which the cheapest cut of the cow, yet the most delicious! The sauce comes together magically with minimal effort of opening and pouring. You will want to make this every week in Winter! It honestly soothes your soul with comfort, healthy comfort!
I love to serve Slow Cooked Saucy Asian Beef with steamed rice and greens. Simple! A glass of red wine is a perfect addition and a spoon, to enjoy all the sauce!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose chicken instead of beef?
Not for this recipe, beef or lamb is ideal!
Do I need to brown the meat before placing it in the Slow Cooker?
You can if you have time, but I don’t. I prefer to chuck it all in and cook away!
Can I add other veggies whilst cooking?
Ideally, I would just choose carrot and onion. Other veggies will become too soft and possibly mushy through the cooking process. I would suggest pan frying your additional veggies to serve on the side
