Ingredients
1 cup beef broth
½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
½ cup brown sugar, packed
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon Sriracha, or 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
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, vinegar, ginger, Sriracha, onion powder, and white pepper.
Place the beef into a 6-quart slow cooker and pour the sauce over the top, stirring to coat evenly.
Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender.
In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with ¼ cup water. Stir into the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 30 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Adjust Sriracha to control the heat level.
Serve over rice, noodles, or in lettuce wraps.
Leftovers store well and taste even better the next day.
