Slow-Cooker Korean Beef & Cabbage Stew

(1)

Brown sugar makes this slow-cooker beef stew a tad sweet, which beautifully complements the spicy kimchi. You can make this soup ahead and refrigerate it until ready to eat. If you opt to make it ahead, wait until you reheat the soup to add the cabbage.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as canola or avocado

  • 1 (2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed

  • ¼ cup dry white wine

  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce

  • 4 cups unsalted chicken stock

  • 1 yellow onion, halved

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic (from 6 garlic cloves)

  • 1 jalapeño chile, seeded and chopped (about 2 tablespoons)

  • 4 cups chopped napa cabbage (about 14 ounces)

  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ¾ cup kimchi

  • cup thinly sliced scallions (from 2 scallions)

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the beef to the skillet; cook, turning once, until well browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the beef to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.

  2. Add the wine, brown sugar, and soy sauce to the skillet; bring to a boil over medium-high. Pour the wine mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Stir the stock, onion halves, garlic, and jalapeño into the slow cooker; cover and cook on LOW until the beef is very tender, 7 to 8 hours.

  3. Using a slotted spoon, remove the onions from the slow cooker and discard; transfer the beef to a large bowl. Coarsely shred the beef using 2 forks; return the beef to the slow cooker. Stir in the cabbage, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook on LOW until the cabbage is wilted, about 10 minutes. Ladle the stew into bowls; top evenly with the kimchi and scallions.

Tips

Multicooker Directions: In Step 1, transfer the browned beef to the inner pot of a 6-quart multicooker. In Step 2, pour the boiling wine mixture over the beef in the pot. Stir the stock, onion halves, garlic, and jalapeño into the pot. Lock the lid; turn Pressure Valve to "Venting." Cook on SLOW COOK [Normal] until the beef is very tender, about 8 hours. Turn off the cooker. In Step 3, remove and discard the onions; transfer the beef to a large bowl. Shred the beef as in Step 3; return to the pot. Stir in the cabbage, salt, and pepper. With the lid off, press SAUTÉ [Normal]; cook, uncovered, just until the cabbage wilts. Finish Step 3.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
