Love this recipe. Tasty and not much hassle. I used dark soy sauce too. - 08 Sep 2017
The sugar is slight too much. I scooped only 60 grams and that was more than enough. Also, use light soy sauce and reduced salt stock. From my previous Asian cooking experience I knew the salt would be too much. My beef was there for 4 hours on high and another 2 on low. Perhaps it wasn't as good a steak, but prepared to taste it after 2 hours and adjust accordingly. I added the broccoli also to the slow cooker for the last 30 min. Apparently it was such a fantastic meal that no one could stop eating! - 29 Apr 2017
