Slow Cooker Korean Beef with Radish Slaw

Welcome to Day 3 of 12 Days of Slow Cooker Recipes! Today, I have one of my all time favourite slow cooker recipes to share with you – Slow Cooker Korean Beef! YUM! It’s like having takeout at home (for a fraction of the price).

Serve it topped with my yummy quick and easy radish slaw in a lettuce leaf wrap or in a tortilla for a soft Korean taco. if you want it a bit spicier, add some kimchi and Sriracha on there for some extra punch. It’s also really good with a dab of sour cream that you’ve mixed with a little lime juice and/or lime zest on top. I’ve even served the beef and slaw on buns for a tasty sandwich or over mashed potatoes for a Korean twist on comfort food.

To make the radish slaw:

Thinly slice radishes. You don’t need to peel them. I use a mandoline in order to get even slices but a knife works too. 🙂 Mix together 2 parts rice wine vinegar, 2 parts water, and 1 part sugar – enough to cover the radishes. Heat this mixture in a saucepan and heat up over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Pour this over the radishes and allow to sit and pickle for at least half an hour. I usually make some extra and put some of these pickled radishes in mason jars to store in my fridge for later use. They’re delicious on a sandwich of pickled radishes, thinly sliced cucumbers, cracked black pepper, and a thin layer of either mayo, butter, or cream cheese. Delish!

Note: You can use this same brine to pickle other vegetables to create a full fledged slaw as is pictured above. I used shredded broccoli, carrots, and cabbage. I pickled them separately from the radishes though so that the red from the radishes wouldn’t turn everything pink!
