This low carb shredded Asian beef is another one of those recipes that tastes better than it looks. My husband took a look at this post as I was writing it and said the same thing. So bare with me here and imagine a shredded beef dish that has a sweet Asian sauce much like Mongolian beef you get at a Chinese restaurant.

This is a recipe that is perfect for the Instant Pot or even a slow cooker. Just brown the meat, pour over the sauce and let it cook away. You can eat this over rice, cauliflower rice or as is. You could even make a really good sandwich if you aren’t watching your carbs.

It’s so easy to make; just prepare it the night before and throw it in the slow cooker the next day.

If you follow my blog you know that my hubby and I really love peppers. He had a stellar year in garden growing jalapeños, serranos, poblanos, Anaheim chiles and banana peppers. So while we don’t have the fresh from the garden peppers laying around, I was in the mood for something different than the bell peppers we normally eat in winter. So I got out my Instant Pot and made this low carb pork & pepper stew. It’s spicy and hearty and perfect for a cold winter day. It makes a huge pot full that you can eat as is with a little cilantro and sour cream if you wish to keep it low carb. Or you can eat it over rice. Either way you are going to love it!

Slow Cooker Herb Garlic Lamb Roast

December 25, 2017 by Denise 2 Comments

This is the time of year to make a nice slow cooker herb garlic lamb roast. Easy to make and the perfect way to celebrate the holidays with loved ones.

I must confess I’m not a huge lover of lamb. I love lamb that is cooked on a spit but not chewy lamb chops. That is why I make lamb roasts in a slow cooker. It reminds me of how my grandma used to make roasts. She would stud them with garlic and herbs and cook them all day until they are tender. So that is what this slow cooker herb garlic lamb roast is all about. It’s studded with garlic and rubbed with herbs and cook all day until tender and delicious.

My husband has become an awesome smoker. I’ve had his smoked turkey, brisket and salmon on the blog here and we eat these dishes regularly. The only problem is that you really have to be home all day to make these things. The other day I was in the mood for smokey barbecue and decided to try it in the slow cooker. I put a rub on a pork shoulder along with some liquid smoke and set it in the slow cooker to cook all day. It was so good. The salty, spicy pork was just like what we eat in the summer and I was able to do it in the slow cooker!
