Cuisine: Asian Fusion
Ingredients: 1kg beef flank or casserole steak; 1 onion, sliced; 2 Tbsp flour/gluten free flour; 1 beef oxo stock cube; 1 cup boiling water; 4 Tbsp soy sauce; 4 Tbsp brown sugar; 1 tsp five spice powder; 1 tsp garlic powder; 1 tsp ground ginger; 1 tsp sesame oil; 3 cups cooked white rice; 2 carrots, grated or julienned; ¼ red cabbage, thinly sliced; ½ cucumber, thinly sliced; 2 spring onions, sliced; Handful of coriander; Japanese Kewpie mayo

Made from fresh ingredients this tasty sticky asian style beef is a great midweek meal served as a rice salad bowl. Alternatively you can serve it on steamed bao buns with fresh veges, hoisin sauce and kewpie mayo - perfect for entertaining.

I like to cook the beef in my slow cooker which makes it quick and easy to serve at the end of a busy day. This method gives an intense flavour as the sauce cooks through the beef leaving it juicy, sticky and very tender. It makes a large batch so you can freeze the leftovers in a ziplock bag or airtight container for an extra meal.

This is such a simple recipe to make, just throw diced beef and sliced onion into the slow cooker. Coat with flour then pour in the sauce ingredients. Cook until the beef is falling apart. The flavours in the sauce would also work really well with pork or chicken.

I used sliced flank steak to make my sticky beef but casserole or blade steak would be just as tasty. You can serve it at the table like the picture above - scattered with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion.

Another way to serve the sticky beef is piled into fluffy bao buns. Such a great snack for your guests whilst watching a rugby game or just as a simple weekday family meal. Some supermarkets have bao buns in the freezer section, if you can't find them then check out your local asian specialty store.
