Slow Cooker Korean Beef 

This Slow Cooker Korean Beef recipe delivers melt-in-your-mouth tender beef infused with a sweet and savory sauce, all achieved with minimal prep time. Utilizing a boneless beef chuck roast, the slow cooker transforms it into a juicy, flavorful dish that's perfect for busy weeknights or meal prepping. The combination of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and ginger creates a rich, aromatic sauce that pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or can be used as a filling for sandwiches and tacos. 

Ingredients

• 1 cup beef broth
  
  

• ½ cup reduced-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 (adjust to taste)
  
  

• ½ teaspoon onion powder
  
  

• ½ teaspoon white pepper
  
  

• 3 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  
  

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  
  

• 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  
  

• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  
  

Directions

1. Prepare the Sauce:
   
   

   • In a large bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, grated ginger, Sriracha, onion powder, and white pepper until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well combined.

2. Combine in Slow Cooker:
   
   

   • Place the cubed chuck roast into a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce over the meat, ensuring the beef is evenly coated.
     
     

3. Cook:
   
   

   • Cover and cook on low heat for 7–8 hours or on high heat for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
     
     

4. Thicken the Sauce:
   
   

   • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with ¼ cup of water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
     
     

5. Serve:
   
   

   • Serve the Korean beef over steamed rice or use it as a filling for sandwiches or tacos. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
