This Slow Cooker Beef with Salsa is the recipe you need to add to your short list of recipes for when you only have a few minutes of time!

You get a lot of flavor from just a few ingredients. And you can’t beat a slow cooker recipe that only takes minutes to throw together.

Ingredients

• Beef Stew Meat: You can buy beef stew meat at the grocery store, or you can cut up some meat yourself. I prefer to use a chuck roast and cut it into cubes.
• Salsa: Make sure you are using a salsa that you already know you love. The first time I made this slow cooker beef, I used a salsa that we really like and it was fantastic. The second time I used a salsa that I just needed to get rid of, and we didn’t like it as much.
• Brown Sugar: This just adds a little bit of sweetness – not a lot at all!
• Soy Sauce: The soy sauce adds some depth to the flavor. Make sure to use reduced sodium soy sauce.
• Garlic: I like fresh garlic the best.
• Rice: I used white rice, but brown rice, or even cauliflower rice would work!
• Cilantro: The cilantro just brightens everything up and brings in some fresh flavor.

How to Make Slow Cooker Beef with Salsa

1. Combine the beef, salsa, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic in your slow cooker.
2. Cook on low until the beef is tender.
3. Serve over rice, topped with fresh cilantro.
