The recipe for this slow cooker Thai beef comes from More Make It Fast, Cook It Slow: 200 Brand-New, Budget-Friendly, Slow-Cooker Recipes (affiliate link), by Stephanie O'Dea.
It's short list of ingredients—beef, satay peanut sauce, coconut milk and carrots—and easy fix-and-forget-it instructions caught my eye recently, when I was feeling especially lazy.
So, I decided to give it a try.
As soon as I dumped the satay peanut sauce and coconut milk into the slow cooker, I began to have my doubts.
Recipe Notes
It seemed like way too much coconut milk for the amount of satay sauce. I immediately wished I had used only half the can, but there was no turning back. So I added the baby carrots and some red bell pepper, popped on the cover and let it cook, undisturbed, for several hours.
When fork tender, I gave my slow cooker Thai beef a taste.
Just as I'd suspected, it was pretty bland.
So, I spiced it up with a few glugs of soy sauce, shakes of hot pepper sauce, and a handful of chopped cilantro, which seemed to work.
Our tastes are all so different, recipes often will need little tweaks to suit our preferences. Adjusting them to work for us get's easier the more we do it.
Served over brown basmati rice, this slow cooker Thai beef made for a hearty satisfying supper.
As I was eating, I couldn't help but think that with the addition of beef broth and a bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables, the recipe could be converted into a delicious slow cooker Thai Beef soup.
