Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium Carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 medium Potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 3 cups Beef broth
- 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 Green onions, sliced (optional garnish)
Instructions
Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In batches, sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to the slow cooker.
Add the carrots, potatoes, and beef broth to the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Pour the mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours or on high heat for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the stew to thicken the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy your Slow Cooker Hoisin Beef Stew!
