Instructions
Creating Slow Cooker Korean Beef is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Beef: Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes and trim any excess fat.
2. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, gochujang, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
3. Add the Beef: Place the beef cubes in the slow cooker. Pour the sauce over the beef, ensuring all pieces are covered.
4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
5. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Stir it into the sauce and cook on high for an additional 15-30 minutes.
6. Garnish: Once cooked, shred the beef with two forks and mix it back into the sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
