Tender and easy to throw together, you can make this succulent Asian Style Shredded Beef that’s incredibly delicious and cooked in one hour!! This is simply a recipe that I threw together with ingredients that I had on hand.  My family loved it, and I will definitely make this again, since it is one of those easy dinners to make and tastes even better the next day!

For this recipe, I used our Deluxe Multi Cooker:

Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more undercooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

Confident Cooking

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.

These Keto Taco Cups are deliciously edible cheddar taco cups filled with seasoned beef along with your favorite toppings. They’re the perfect keto way to celebrate Cinco De Mayo!

I started with a recipe from Delish, however, I added our Everything Taco Seasoning, which made this dish even more amazing!

Mix ‘N Chop

A Fan-Favorite Chopper

The unique, beveled pinwheel blades of our Mix ‘N Chop™ make it easy to chop and crumble food. It’s a customer favorite for finely crumbling and browning ground beef, turkey, and sausage. It can quickly mash up avocados and eggs, and you can even crush tomatoes for a chunky tomato sauce.

A classic recipe from Pampered Chef, this deliciously easy Taco Ring is PERFECT for your Superbowl parties, or anytime!!  Many of my in-home party hosts ask me to make this recipe, because it feeds a LOT of people and, of course, it is so tasty!

I used my Large Round Stone, along with our Everything Taco Seasoning for this recipe:

Large Round Stone

Make Tasty Pizza at Home With the Large Round Stone.

It’s great for frozen pizza, coffee cakes, taco rings, pull-apart bread wreaths, and more! The ¾” (2-cm) lip around the edge keeps food and drippings contained, so you can use it to make cookies and brownies. The unglazed interior gives you the light, crispy results our stoneware is known for while the beautiful satin white glazed exterior and easy-to-hold handle design make it the perfect oven-to-table piece.

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

  • 1½ lb (700 g) lean (90%) ground beef
  • 1 pkg (1–1.25 oz/30–35 g) taco seasoning mix
  • 1¾ cups (7 oz/200 g) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 tbsp (45 mL) water
  • 2 pkg (8 oz /250 g each) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1   egg white, lightly beaten

 Optional toppings:

  • salsa, shredded lettuce, chopped onion and tomato, sliced olives, and sour cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C.

Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for 10–12 minutes or until it’s no longer pink, breaking beef into crumbles, then drain. Stir in the Everything Taco Seasoning, 1 ½ cups of the cheese, and water.

Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 16 triangles. Arrange the triangles, slightly overlapping, in a circle on a Large Round Stone with the wide ends of the triangles overlapping in the center and points toward the outside. There should be a 5″ (13-cm)-diameter opening in the center of the stone. The narrow triangle points of dough will extend off the edge of the baking stone.

Using a Large Scoop, scoop the filling evenly over the dough in a continuous circle. Bring the points of triangles up over the filling and tuck them under the dough at center to form a ring. (Filling will show.) Brush the top with the egg white. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until it is golden brown. Serve with toppings.

Slow Cooker Beef Stew – The Cozy Cook (Video)

How many of you use a slow cooker to make meals?  Pampered Chef just came out with their new Digital Slow Cooker, and I couldn’t be happier!!  The difference with ours is that you can cook in the Rockcrok on the stove, then transfer it directly to the slow-cooker base.  One pot to clean, I always love that. 

This beef stew was the first recipe I tried with it, and I am really very pleased with how it turned out.  This recipe comes from Stephanie over at The Cozy Cook, and you can learn more about her here.   I will definitely be heading back over to her blog, as this recipe was fantastic! 

Here’s some info about our new Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand, which pairs with the Rockcrok Dutch Oven:

Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand:

Slow Cook & Keep Warm

Take your Rockcrok® Dutch Oven or Everyday Pan and turn it into a slow cooker with the Rockcrok® Digital Slow Cooker Stand. The slow cooker lets you cook food on your own time, or easily transfer it from the oven or stovetop directly into the stand to keep it warm. Control the temperature and timing of your food with the stand’s digital display and keep your cabinets tidy with compact cord storage for when you aren’t using the stand. Two inset handles make lifting easy, and the stand even wipes clean for simple cleanup.

Rockcrok® Dutch Oven

COOK ANY MEAL FOR A CROWD

The Rockcrok® Dutch Oven is the perfect size for cooking for a crowd, and unlike other types of ceramic cookware, you can use Rockcroks® right away without needing to preseason. The large Rockcrok® Dutch Oven perfect for anything—appetizers, bread, casseroles, braised meats, soups, and more! You’ll never run out of possibilities with this durable, versatile piece.

Rockcrok® Collection

Calling our Rockcrok® Collection versatile is an understatement. It’s made from durable, high-quality clay that’s heat-safe to 752°F (400°C), so you can sear, braise, simmer, slow cook, fry, boil, bake, broil, microwave, and grill in one pan. Rockcrok® pieces transfer effortlessly from freezer to stove-top to oven and back again, all while creating savory roasts, crisp crusts, moist cakes, and one-pot wonders. Since they’re dishwasher-safe, you’ll find reasons to use these lightweight alternatives to cast-iron cookware every day.

  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 5 medium carrots, diced into ¼-inch pieces
  • 1 lb. baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • ¼ cup cold water + 3 tbsp cornstarch to make slurry optional
  • 2-3 drops Kitchen Bouquet Browning + Seasoning Sauce optional

Instructions

Cut beef into 1.5-inch cubes, then toss with black pepper, garlic salt, celery salt and flour to fully coat. Chop onions and garlic, dice potatoes and cut potatoes in half.

Heat 3 tbsp oil in Rockcrok over medium-high heat; sear the meat @ 45 seconds per side (do this in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan), then remove and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium, and add one tablespoon of the butter to Rockcrok. Add onions to pan, and cook for 5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic, cooking one minute until fragrant.  Add a little wine or water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits of flavor. 

Add the beef back to the pan, along with all of the other ingredients EXCEPT the peas and the slurry.  Give a stir to combine. Cover Rockcrok with lid. Set slow cooker to LOW for 8 hours, or HIGH for 4 hours.

Add in the peas during the last 15 minutes of cooking. 

Once cooking is complete, combine the cold water and cornstarch to make the slurry, and stir into the stew if it is not thick enough.  Remove the bay leaves and rosemary; add in the 2 tablespoons of cold butter, stirring to incorporate.

This recipe freezes very well. You can store in a freezer-proof container up to three months.
If you do not wish to use red wine, you can substitute the same amount of beef broth in its place.
