Sweet (and a bit sour) Beef, in Crockpot/Slow Cooker

This is an adaptation of a recipe from The Explorers Journal, which is a hiker/explorer quarterly I picked up at a Fjallraven store, where my husband bought a raincoat. The original recipe called for "rock tripe" as the protein, which is a mushroom that can be gathered while hiking, as a survival soup. How hikers would source the chicken stock, brown sugar, vinegar etc. I don't know.

Since I was young, my mother made this for my bento using meat and shishito peppers.When I tried making it with green peppers and potatoes, it was just as delicious!It's cooked thoroughly and is preserved in soy sauce, so it lasts and is also great for bentos.Using shishito peppers instead of green peppers is tasty, too! If you use shishito peppers, fry thoroughly beforehand to get rid of the bitter flavor! Please stir-fry the meat and shishito peppers with plenty of sauce.It's more delicious with Japanese beef, but if you use imported beef, use Japanese beef fat by cutting it into small chunks (which you can get at a butcher) and stir fry. The taste becomes milder. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by asaco*

I wanted to try making a side dish for my bento using shirataki.＊If the water doesn't evaporate, turn up the heat to high. Recipe by marriott

I think every household has their own way to make 'Stir Fried and Simmered Beef and Burdock Root', but this is my method.If you stir fry the burdock root in the same frying pan you stir fried the beef in, the burdock root will not be properly coated by oil. Even if it's a bother, stir fry it in a separate pan for better, richer flavor. If you do stir fry the beef and burdock root together the flavor will be lighter. Please use whichever method you prefer. The meat stays tender even if you reheat this in the microwave. For 4 servings. Recipe by Asamato

This is the simplest recipe I know. I learned from my mother, and when I don't know what to eat and I only have beef in my refrigerator, I think this recipe is perfect.

I had a pork roast handy. Put this together using my own twists. For instance, the original recipe called for apple juice or cider. I forgot to add carrots, so I made Brown Sugar Molasses Carrots.

My mother made this for potluck dinners. My boss always ask me to make this for our Christmas office party. For dinner, add a side of yellow rice and a Caesar salad.

This is a rich stew with juicy tendons that goes well with rice.You might feel the taste is a bit weak right after Step 4, but the flavor will concentrate as you boil it down. Stir gently as to not crush the daikon. If you're not using a pressure cooker, boil for 40 minutes. For 4 people. Recipe by LaLaHappy1

Featured in a recipe book & with 3,000 reviews, thank you! A quick and nutritious dish for busy days. The sweet and savory flavor pairs perfectly with rice. Great for lunch boxes too.The Story Behind This RecipeThank you for visiting! This has been a family favorite for years. Everyone loves the sweet and savory taste, the crunchy and slightly bitter bell peppers, the sweetness of the onions, and the umami of the beef. Make a big batch and use it for lunch the next day.

We received some beef tsukudani from a famous store some time ago as a gift. This recipe is my version of that. If you make a generous amount, you can turn leftovers into onigiri (rice balls) or ochazuke (rice with tea) the next day.Beef offcuts are the best to use for this, since it has a decent amount of fat but not too much. Too much fat makes this too oily, but too little makes it dry. We use a mixture of the fatty parts of wagyu beef and cheap imported beef. Please adjust the ginger, sugar and soy sauce amounts to your taste. I prefer it with lots of ginger. This lasts for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator, so I always make a lot. For a generous amount to stock in your refrigerator. Recipe by Cha-miru

I often mix this shigure-ni into chirasuzushi. Beef keeps well in the freezer, so I always buy it on sale and make this to mix with chirashizushi when I can't go shopping. This is delicious on its own, so I uploaded the recipe.The beef is easier to cut if it's half frozen. If you've frozen the beef, it's that much easier! For a huuuge mound!!!. Recipe by Mamemame

A delicious, hearty, and healthy sweet potato stew made in the crockpot (slow cooker). This stew is packed with sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, corn, tomatoes, beef, and plenty of seasoning!

I'm a single mother with 2 kids that I'm sure are trying to make me crazy. I don't always have the time I would like to cook. This is easy and painless. You dump it all in. Cook it on low 6-8 hours and your dinner is practically done when u get home. Thank God for simplicity. :-)

My boy wanted some gyudon from a well-known restaurant chain. With the amount of money needed to buy two beef bowls there (my boy usually eats two portions!), I can make plenty for him and the rest of the family!

I dont know how to cook a lamb meat and i do search on internet for recipe but i only have available in the fridge so it came out like this. And it taste good for me and my partner.

I made a mix of spices based on another recipe but had leftover of spice mix. I CAN'T throw it away when it's perfectly good! So after thawing out some pork ribs, I had to do something with the leftover spice. Waste not, want not. And here it is, a spice-ly sweet pork rib dish? Because the measurements are only an estimate, adjust according to taste. Mix together the measurements, have a taste (yes, the dry mix) before marinading or mixing it together with the raw pork, and then dump it all together in the slow cooker and you're good to go. You can actually add carrots, root vegetables or capsicum/bell peppers into it.

I only had pork belly, but I really wanted to eat sweet and sour pork.I used pork belly offcuts this time. Thick and evenly sliced pork belly is expensive! If you are using a block of pork, the flavors won't permeate so easily, so increase the soy sauce and sake to 1 tablespoon each. If you want to make this lighter, boil the vegetables instead of deep frying. Whichever method you use, be sure to have them cooked through thoroughly before adding them to the frying pan with the sauce. Recipe by Berry

These ribs make for a quick, easy, and delicious midweek dinner. Just add some rice and veg of your choice (I piled mine atop sauteed broccoli) and you're all set. Also, if weather permits, make them on the grill for extra BBQ flavour.

I wanted an Asian spin on a Roast and came up with this. Hope you enjoy

You can cut this recipe in half if 8 pork chops is too much. I just grabbed a few ingredients I had on hand, tossed them together and am completely pleased with the outcome. Ya gotta love when that happens!! I suppose you can use chicken too...😀

It's not like I was chosen to be a recipe monitor for maple syrup and juice. This is how my family has enjoyed this dish. My husband, who dislikes pineapple juice in sweet n' sour pork, happily eats this and says it is delicious.-All-in-all, this is sweet n' sour pork! It will not taste like candy. It is really sweet, so for those of you who like sugar sparingly, adjust the amount of honey.-The ration should be vinegar: ketchup: maple syrup: pineapple juice 10:9:7:7. When making this for 2 people, I multiplied the ingredients by 5, but adjust to your preference. Recipe by Soraten mama

One of the worst storms in recent history is hitting the Pacific Northwest right now. This was my comfort food to ride it out.

This is an old recipe of mine for sweet and sour pork that I updated by stir frying the pork instead of battering and deep frying it. It makes it a quick one pan meal and we liked the fresher taste of the pork. Chicken and shrimp can be used as well.
