Description

Imagine tender, slow-cooked ginger beef, its fibers softened to a melt-in-your-mouth consistency. The beef is first imbued with the subtle warmth of ginger during a low and slow cooking process, coaxing out its natural sweetness and savory depth. Once suitably tender, the shredded beef is then enveloped in a rich, velvety peanut sauce, continuing its simmer to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.

This second stage of cooking ensures every strand of beef is coated in the luscious, nutty sauce, creating a symphony of textures and tastes. This dish is a delightful dance of contrasts. The spice of ginger provides a gentle heat that awakens the palate, while the creamy peanut sauce offers a comforting richness.

The chewiness of the beef is perfectly balanced by the slight crunch of fresh vegetables, creating a satisfying textural experience. A generous sprinkle of sesame seeds adds a final layer of complexity, their subtle, nutty flavor enhancing the overall profile of the dish and providing a pleasant aroma. This ginger beef is incredibly versatile.

For a lighter option, serve it over a bed of fluffy cauliflower rice, allowing the sauce to seep through the tender florets. The cauliflower rice soaks up the delicious peanut sauce creating a balanced flavor profile. Alternatively, enjoy it as is, savoring each bite of the flavorful beef and its accompanying sauce.

The deep savoriness and umami notes make this a hearty and satisfying meal. Whether you're looking for a comforting weeknight dinner or a flavorful dish to impress guests, this slow-cooked ginger beef is sure to please. Note that this recipe involves both slow cooking and stove top cooking so planning ahead of time may be required.

Instructions

    1.
    In a crock pot, lay in the sirloin steak. Add in the first amount of olive oil, the soy sauce, first amount of salt, the onion powder, garlic, cayenne, and ginger. Cook the crock pot either on high heat for 6 hours or low heat for 8 hours. If your steak is especially thick, you may want to cook on high for 4 hours and low for 2-4 hours.
    2.
    Once done cooking, use a pair of forks to shred the steak into small pieces. At this point, you can continue the recipe or store the steak in a refrigerated container until you are ready to use.
    3.
    Next, heat the second amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add in chopped bell pepper and cook for about 4 minutes. Add in the spinach and continue cooking until the spinach has wilted and the peppers turn slightly golden brown.
    4.
    Set the veggies aside to cool. To make the sauce, heat the water in a wide pan over the stove to a simmer. Stir in the peanut butter until your peanut sauce is lump free and smooth. Stir in the remaining seasonings to the sauce.
    5.
    Reduce the heat to low and stir the beef, peppers, and spinach into the peanut sauce. Continually stir on low heat until the sauce thickens and coats all the ingredients. Serve hot!
