I haven't tried this yet but just found it in a crock pot cookbook. I am posting for the Zaar World tour to Asia and hope to make it soon. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs sirloin tip steaks (slightly frozen for easier slicing) |
1 bunch green onion (about 8 or 1 large leek) |
1 cup bean sprouts |
1 cup chinese pea pod |
1 cup low-fat beef broth |
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
2 tablespoons lukewarm water |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1/2 tsp fresh minced ginger) |
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (optional) |
1/2 cup water chestnut, drained |
1/2 cup bamboo shoot, drained |
Directions:
1. Thinly slice the sirloin.
2. Wash all the fresh vegetables.
3. Finely chop the onions (or leek).
4. Place the sirloin in the slow cooker, 3-6 quarts size pot.
5. Pour broth, soy sauce, ginger and onion over the beef.
6. Cover and cook on low, 6-7 hours.
7. Uncover and turn to high. Mix cornstarch and water in a small measuring cup.
8. Stir this mixture with the hot sauce into the cooker.
9. Leaving lid slightly ajar, cook on high for 15 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
10. During last 5 minutes of thickening add sprouts, pea pods, water chestnuts and shoots.
11. Cook 5-10 minutes until hot.
12. Serve in individual bowls over Chinese noodles.
