This slow cooker Satay Steak is my favourite kind of slow cooker recipe.
It takes minimal prep and results in a delicious dinner the whole family can enjoy. Tender steak in a thick, mid, rich peanut & coconut sauce – yum!
Serve this slow cooker steak with white rice, spring onions, lime, peanuts and coriander. I love the sweet chilli peanuts from Morrisons (i’m sure other supermarkets do similar too).
This is one of those meals which feels like a complete treat dinner. It’s the perfect ‘fake-away’ style dinner with so little effort.
