This is a great meal served over basmati rice, white rice or brown rice. We have even served it over cauliflower rice for a low carb option. But it also taste amazing over mashed potatoes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Make slurry with water and cornstarch to thicken the sauce. Typically, one part cornstarch to two parts water will do the trick and thicken the broth.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It will last about 4 days if stored properly. We think it taste better the next day as the ingredients really marinate together. This is the perfect meal to meal prep with.
Reheat the leftovers in the microwave for a quick lunch the next day. If you have a lot leftover, you may need to reheat on the stovetop.
There is no need to brown the beef prior to adding to the slow cooker. You can take your diced meat from the freezer or fridge and add directly to the crock pot.
