Slow Cooker Hearty Beef & Vegetable Casserole
Method
- Place steak in a flat, non-metallic dish. Pour over Less Salt Soy Sauce making sure all meat is well coated. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour (long for a deeper flavour).
- Remove meat from marinade and pat dry with paper towels to prevent burning.
- Place the flour on a flat dish and coat the beef cubes.
- Preheat a large fry pan on medium/high, add the olive oil, and when hot, brown the beef on all sides. (Brown the beef in batches, so that it browns easily, otherwise it will tend to steam, not brown.)
- Add into slow cooker, then add all the remaining ingredients, mixing well.
- Cook on high for 4-6 hours, or low for 6-8 hours. Top with chopped parsley.
Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce can be substituted for Kikkoman Less Salt Soy Sauce if desired.
