Slow Cooker Korean Beef

I love cooking chuck roast in the slow cooker. It always produces super-tender, fall-apart meat, especially in this slow cooker Korean beef recipe. The tender chuck roast gets cooked in an easy Korean-inspired teriyaki-style sauce. And it’s minimal effort for the home chef! The crock pot does most of the work.

Both the sauce and cubed chuck roast get added to the slow cooker. Best of all, the prep time is less than 10 minutes! You can even prep all the ingredients the night before and throw it into the slow cooker in the morning to make it even easier.

Korean Beef Ingredients

The ingredient you’ll likely have to make a run to the grocery store for is the 2 pounds of chuck roast. Everything else needed for the sauce you likely have on-hand in the fridge or pantry!

For the Korean-inspired sauce, you’ll need:

• Light brown sugar (can use dark in a pinch)
• Low-sodium soy sauce (to better control the amount of salt in this sauce)
• Minced garlic
• Minced ginger
• Sesame Oil
• Rice vinegar
• Sriracha (or hot sauce of your choice)
• Cornstarch
• Green onions
• Sesame seeds

How To Make Slow Cooker Korean Beef

1. Start by mixing up the sauce ingredients: brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, ginger and garlic.

1. Add the sauce and cubed chuck roast to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.

1. After the beef has finished cooking I mix cornstarch and some of the cooking liquid together to thicken it up.
2. To serve, I garnish with green onions, sesame seeds and a little more Sriracha before scooping it over a bed of rice or noodles. Yum!

Ingredients 

Slow Cooker Korean Beef

• 2 lbs chuck roast, cut into bite size pieces

Sauce

• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp ginger, minced
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tsp Sriracha, or more to taste

For serving

• 1-2 tbsp cornstarch
• green onions, if desired
• sesame seeds, if desired

Instructions

• In a medium bowl whisk together the sauce ingredients: brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar and sriracha.
  
• Add it to the slow cooker along with the cubed chuck roast. Stir to coat the beef in the sauce then cover and cook on low for 8 hours. (I would not recommend cooking this on high. I have tried and it was pretty tough after cooking on high for 5 hours).
  
• When the chuck roast is done mix together 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of the liquid from the slow cooker in a small bowl. (I usually start with 1 tablespoon, if you want it thicker add an additional tablespoon to 1/4 cup cooking liquid)
• Pour the mixture back in the slow cooker and cook on high heat for an additional 30 minutes or until the sauce is thickened.
• Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
