Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions:

  1. Place the sliced beef chuck roast into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Zip the bag shut and shake vigorously until every piece of beef is evenly coated.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until the sugar has mostly dissolved.
  3. Transfer the coated beef into the slow cooker, spreading the pieces out to avoid large clumps. Pour the glaze over the meat, stirring gently to ensure the beef is submerged.
  4. Cover and cook on Low for 7-8 hours or High for 4 hours until the beef is tender.
  5. Right before serving, stir the beef gently to incorporate the thickened glossy glaze.
