Slow-Cooked Sticky Orange Beef Bowls
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef stew meat
- ¾ cup Panda Express Orange Sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- Cooked rice, for serving
- Steamed broccoli, for serving
Instructions
- Add the beef to the crockpot, then pour in the orange sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.
- Cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
- Once cooked, use a fork to lightly shred a few pieces of beef directly in the pot, leaving the rest chunky. This naturally thickens the sauce and gives it that sticky, glossy texture without extra steps.
- If you want an even deeper glaze, crack the lid slightly and cook on HIGH for 10–15 more minutes, letting the sauce tighten up just a bit.
- Spoon the citrus-glazed beef over warm rice and finish with steamed broccoli for balance.
