chuck steak or other beef cut suitable for slow cooking 300g / 16 oz broccoli florets (about 6 cups, 1 giant broccoli or 2 medium) 2 tbsp corn flour (corn starch) 1 cup water (see note 2) Sauce 2 tbsp oil 2 tbsp finely sliced fresh ginger (note 1) 3 tbsp soy sauce (normal dark soy sauce) 2 tbsp oyster sauce 4 tsp rice wine or dry sherry 1 tsp sesame oil (optional) 1 tsp sugar 4 dashes white pepper Instructions Cut the beef into thin slices against the grain (which means at 90 degrees to the direction of the fibres in the meat). Place beef in slow cooker. Mix the corn flour with the water, then add to the slow cooker. Add the Sauce ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 3 hours (or pressure cook on high for 40 minutes). To Serve Immediately Steam or boil broccoli until "tender crisp" (just cooked, still bright green and still crisp). Add to beef and sauce, toss to combine. Serve over rice. To Make Ahead to Freeze (2 months) or Refrigerate (2 days) Let the beef and sauce cool. Meanwhile, blanch the broccoli very briefly, then run under cold water or plunge into ice water to stop from cooking further. Drain broccoli, then combine with the beef and sauce. Place into ziplock bags or airtight containers and freeze or refrigerate. To cook, thaw then reheat in the microwave, covered. Be careful not to heat for too long because otherwise the broccoli will overcook. Serve with rice. Notes 1. If your ginger is fresh and has thin skin, you don't even need to peel it.2. The amount of water required will vary depending on what cut of beef you use and whether your slow cooker leaks moisture. My slow cooker leaks very little steam (almost none) and 1 cup of water makes the perfect amount of sauce for this recipe. If your slow cooker leaks a bit of steam, 1 cup of water should be ok as a starting point and check it once the beef is cooked and add a touch of water if the sauce is too thick for your liking.If your slow cooker leaks a lot of steam then you should increase the amount of water to ensure the sauce doesn't dry out during cooking. Don't worry if you end up with too much liquid at the end, you can easily reduce it by simmering on the stove. 3. I used a fairly lean cut of beef - chuck steak. And I also trimmed off the fat. If you are using a fatty slow cooking cut of beef, you could reduce the oil by half or so. I added it because the beef I was using was so lean.4. You can also make ahead the rice. Cooked rice freezes very well. Just cook it, let it cool then wrap it in cling wrap and freeze. Then defrost and reheat (in the cling wrap) in the microwave. 3.2.2646

Drain the meat and put it into the slowcooker. When tomatoes are done, add them to the slowcooker. I had pasta noodles on hand too, and after the women in the group mixed their zoodles with this rich sauce filled with slow roasted tomatoes, fresh herbs and ground beef, the men chimed in and did the same
