Slow Cooker Lion Head Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 kg (2.2 lb) ground beef
• 2 shallots, finely diced
• 2 tsp garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp ginger, minced
• 2 Tbsp dry sherry
• 1 Tbsp sesame oil
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tsp salt

Sauce

• 500 g (1.1 lb) Chinese cabbage cut into large strips
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) beef stock
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

1. Firstly, in a bowl, combine the ground beef, shallots, garlic, ginger, sherry, sesame oil, cornstarch, and salt.
2. Form the meat mixture into large meatballs. Aim for them to be roughly the size of a tennis ball. I use a cup measure to get roughly the amount of mixture I need.
3. In a frying pan over high heat, add 2 tbsp oil. Brown all the meatballs. Once browned, put aside.
4. In a slow cooker, add the Chinese cabbage, red onion, beef stock, and soy sauce. Lastly, add the meatballs.
5. Cook for 8 hours on low.
6. Serve & Enjoy.
