4 pounds beef tough cuts work great don't waste money on good cuts here
1 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup honey or maple syrup, your choice I use them both and sometimes some of each
12 cloves garlic minced
1 1/2 inch chunk ginger peeled and chopped or grated
2 pinches red pepper flakes optional
3 1 gallon freezer bags

cut the beef in pieces not small though you don't want shredded meat you want bigger pieces that will stew nicely
divide between 3 freezer bags
divide the remaining ingredients evenly between the 3 bags
push all the air out, label and freeze on a cookie sheet
To Cook: **each meal will require 1 pound frozen green beans and hot cooked rice**
place the contents of the bag in a crock pot
cover and cook on high 6 hours
use a spoon to break up the pieces very slightly you are not shredding the meat but rather making roughly bite sized pieces
pour the green beans around the beef, cover and continue cooking for another 90 minutes or so
cook a pot of rice during this time to serve with the Garlic Ginger Beef
serve over rice with cooking juice on top

makes 3 meals each meal will require 1 pound frozen green beans and hot cooked rice
