Slow Cooker Satay Beef

Janet Camilleri · 11/04/2013 ·

Kudos must go to the hubster for this one – it’s a recipe that he invented!

I find that casseroles made in the slow cooker always taste the same, and can be kinda bland and boring. Well, not this one!

IMG_4360

Ingredients

  • 1.5kg beef (because you’re slow cooking, you can get away with a cheap cut like chuck steak)
  • good squirt of tomato sauce
  • 1 pkt French Onion soup mix in 1/3 cup cold water
  • 1 tin Ayam Satay mix
  • 1 heaped tablespoon peanut butterAyam-Mild-Satay-Sauce-Big

Method

  1. Cube beef.
  2. Put all ingredients in crockpot except for Satay mix and peanut butter.
  3. Cook on low heat all day.
  4. When you get home from work or around 5pm, add the Satay mix and peanut butter, and stir.
  5. Serve with rice and vegies.

It’s a great Winter warmer recipe, and easy to boot. Feeds our family of 4 (me, hubster, Mr 19 next month, Miss 16), with enough leftovers for at least one lunch the next day. Hope your family enjoys it as much as mine does!

I’m joining Domesblissity for Thriving on Thursday, Blogs and PR for TUST, and Six by the Bay for Thankful Thursday coz I’m thankful not only for a hubster that sometimes cooks amazing meals – but also because this is my 100th post!

    That sounds so yummy! Have not heard of that satay sauce, might have to check it out and give it a crack, especially as it’s starting to cool down around here!

      You should find it with the Asian foods in your supermarket 🙂

    Congratultions on 100th blog post, yay! And that recipe sounds awesome. Both of my girls are not casserole fans, but do love satay, so I might have just hit the jackpot with this one! xx

      I’ve just got home from a big day out & really wish it was in my slow cooker right now 😉

    I love the Ayam brand of sauces. They add so much flavour. I’m going to try this one – simple and sounds great. Thanks for sharing Janet. (Tell hubby thanks too!)

    Oooo I’ll have to give this recipe a try! I have a slow cooker and am always looking for good recipes to cook in it. I love slow cookers – you just pop in on in the morning and voila all ready for dinner at night! Congratulations on your 100th post! Min xo

    Sounds yummy and easy to make. My younger two boys probably wouldn’t eat it though, the fussy buggers. Oh well too bad for them, they can dig for worms. It sounds good, so I think I’ll give it a go.

      LOL that’s the spirit Ness!

    Hey that looks terrific, really good and quite manageable. Nice one, love a bit of peanut in a curry.

    Hi, thanks for sharing. A couple of questions … why didn’t you put the satay sauce in at the start? Did it need coconut cream/milk at all? Thanks 🙂

    • Janet says

      21/07/2013 at 3:23 pm

      Hi Sharon, no coconut cream of milk needed but that would probably be a lovely addition. And – no idea about the satay sauce! It is hubster’s recipe so I will have to ask him!
