Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the beef stew meat in the bottom of a 6-quart crock pot.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic on top of the beef.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar.
Pour the liquid mixture over the beef and onions in the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the mixture.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
About 20 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.
Re-cover the crock pot and let it simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
Prepare white rice according to package instructions and ensure it is hot and ready to serve.
To serve, spoon the beef and sauce over a bed of freshly cooked rice.
Optionally garnish with chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
