Slow Cooker Asian Style Beef Stew

OH I love this stew! I have tried different variations and this is definitely my favorite! It’s so healthy and satisfying. I use grassfed beef which is full of healthy fats and coconut oil and kimchi is full of healthy probiotics to make your gut happy. Make extra to freeze or have for lunches! If you have never made homemade kimchi, I highly recommend trying it out. But if today is not the day then try some from the Brinery or from the Korean market on Packard in Ann Arbor, The Galleria.  You can totally substitute Tempeh for the beef.  So if you are vegan or just looking to make it meat free give that a try!
