Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds smoked beef, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup grape juice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 cup chopped vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the smoked beef by cutting into uniform cubes.
  2. In a bowl, combine grape juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  3. Place beef in slow cooker and pour sauce over it, stirring to coat.
  4. Add chopped vegetables on top.
  5. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours until beef is tender.

  7. When done, give a final stir, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve over rice or noodles, garnished with sliced green onions.
