HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER HONEY GARLIC BEEF
- Simply lay the thin cut steaks into the bottom of the slow cooker pan. Add all the ingredients except the sesame seeds and spring onions. Give everything a mix to coat the steaks. Then cook on high for around 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours.
- Then shred the steaks using two forks, and put it back into the sauce and mix well and coat all the shredded steak in lovely garlic honey flavors. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and chopped spring onions.
- Then serve the shredded honey garlic beef as you like - it's delicious with fluffy rice and steamed broccoli.
lt's also worth remembering that all slow cookers cook at slightly different temperatures and food can be cooked more quickly or slowly than we've stated. So it's always best to check the internal cooked temperature of the steak before shredding and eating. Use a digital food thermometer to do this.

RECIPE TIPS AND INGREDIENT SWAPS
Use Chicken Thighs - you can make this recipe with skinless boneless chicken thighs if you prefer for a lighter option.
Use Stew Meat - you can make this recipe using braising steak, stew beef or stewing beef if you prefer and skip the shredding just eat the chunks of beef in the sauce.
Add Some Extras - if you like your shredded beef with a kick of spice, add in a freshly chopped chilli or a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can also add in extra veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers if you like.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH SLOW COOKER HONEY GARLIC BEEF
This shredded beef is delicious served with white rice and some green veggies like broccoli or green beans, with some chopped coriander (cilantro) to garnish. For speed I often use the sachets of microwave rice. It's also perfect with stir fry noodles or stuffed into French bread with salad as a hot beef sandwich.
