Slow Cooked Spicy Asian Beef – skip ordering take out with this amazingly tasty set it and forget it slow cooker meal.
Gotta love a good ole crockpot dish, right? Nothing better than throwing a few ingredients together in the morning and come dinner time, a delicious meal is all ready to serve effortlessly.
I must admit I don’t use my slow cooker much in the summertime, as it’s mostly grilled meats and salad kind of meals etc, but come the colder months, my slow cooker spends more time out of the cupboard than in.
Slow cookers or crock pots are such a great kitchen item to have, especially if you live a busy lifestyle. I have one like this Morphy Richards Sear and Stew Digital Slow Cooker.
But now I also have my Instant Pot and if you haven’t heard of one of these you are seriously missing out. It is the best kitchen gadget I have purchased.
It is basically a 7in1 cooker, and it slow cooks, pressure cooks, saute’s, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt (I haven’t tried that yet).
This Slow Cooked Spicy Asian Beef would be perfect in the instant pot, either using the slow cook function if you are out all day or the pressure cook function if you want amazingly tender meat that is just braising meat but in a much shorter time.

How can I add a 1/3 speed foods to this Slow Cooked Spicy Asian Beef?
There is already onions and peppers in this amazing dish, but serving with some additional stir-fried veggies of your choice is also a great idea to up the speed foods. You could also go for some of this tasting Syn Free Cauliflower Egg Fried Rice instead of regular rice.
What Kitchen Items do I need to make this Slow Cooked Spicy Asian Beef?
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring Scales
- Chopping Board
- Santoku Knife
- Wooden Spoon
- Slow Cooker or Instant Pot
After cooking the slow cooker spicy Asian beef, if the sauce is not quite thick enough to your liking, you can spoon out the meat and reduce the sauce down a little in a saucepan or use the saute mode if cooking in an Instant Pot. I don’t like my sauce super thick so it is perfect for our acquired taste once it has finished cooking.
This also freezes perfectly, I just add to containers in single portions and freeze, then allow to fully defrost before reheating, either in the microwave or a pan.

This looks lovely hun, I love my slowcooker xx
hi made this this evening used pork instead absolutely stunning sooooo tasty and easy so glad i found your blog theres loads on here i want to try xx
This is delicious. I can’t find many slimming world recipes for the slow cooker/crock pot so this is a real treasure! I’ve been using your recipes a lot in the last weeks. Thank you so much for being such a lifesaver!
Can’t wait to try this!
what does syns stand for?
This is absolutley gorgeous. I left the chilli’s out as the other half doesn’t do chilli’s, but even without it is so tasty.
I haven’t found a recipe that we don’t love!!
Thank You so much xx
Wow, best recipe ever!! The beef is delicious! At half a chilli, it was very spicy, my 2 and 5 year old still scoffed it down though – they’re hardcore lol! Thanks for this lovely recipe.
I have this on the go for dinner tonight, I cannot wait!! Fabulour site – thank you.
*Do i cook it on high or low?
it will cook fine on either setting 🙂
I’ve just put this in the slow cooker and my mouth is watering already! Only 8 hours to go!
i dont eat beef, can i use this receipe for lamb meat instead?
you could use any meat in place of beef. Hope you enjoy it 🙂
could you freeze the left.overs of this recipe? or have it next day?
hi, yes this freezes perfectly or is great as leftovers for another day
The sauce nowhere near covers the ingrediants, not even a quarter of it. Is this okay? All my previous slow cooker recipes have been covered by the sauce they’re cooking in.
Providing you had the exact measurements of everything, it is enough, as once the meat starts to cook it releases it own juices. I find some slow cooker recipes have too much liquid and therefore the meat end ups bland. It depends how saucy you like it though, if you likes lots more sauce in relation to meat, you may need to add some extra. Hope that helps 🙂
Could u throw some veg in it to make it a stew? Or is it too rich?
Is there an alternative to the maple syrup please?
Hi there Trudy – you could use honey instead of maple syrup
Made this tonight and we loved it. OH is not keen on beef so it needs lots of flavour and he really enjoyed it. I also loved the fact it has two cooking methods so you can choose which one is best on the day.
This was very tasty! My family really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
This is another delicious recipe. I did not manage to get mine to come out with the rich, dark sauce in the picture, it was more a gravy color, that did not however detract from the taste, it was lush.
sounds like you didn’t use the Dark Soy Sauce (it should say Dark on the bottle) it is that which gives it the rich deep colour.
What cut of beef did you use
stewing beef is best for this because it is slow cooked.
Sweetener won’t yield the same result with the sauce, the maple syrup is what helps create the syrupy sauce.
I cooked this in my instant pot and the beef just melted in my mouth. Another success, thank you Sioban
What is the serving size for the spicy Asian beef I am on weight Watchers
it serves 4 – so a 1/4 of the whole recipe is one serving 🙂
This was tasty! Hubby gave two thumbs up as well. Thanks so much!
