Tender beef cubes slow-cooked in a flavorful Korean-inspired sauce made with soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger, perfect for serving over rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha (or more, to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • 3 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, grated ginger, Sriracha, onion powder, and white pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the 1-inch cubed chuck roast into a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the prepared beef broth mixture over the beef, stirring to ensure all pieces are coated.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 7-8 hours, or on the HIGH setting for 3-4 hours, until the beef is incredibly tender and easily shredded.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and ¼ cup of water until a smooth slurry forms.
  5. Stir this cornstarch mixture into the slow cooker. Re-cover and continue to cook on HIGH for an additional 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Shred the beef directly in the slow cooker using two forks, allowing it to soak up the rich sauce.
  7. Serve the Korean beef hot, garnished with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. It’s excellent over steamed rice or in tacos.
