Slow Cooker Korean Beef is a savory and slightly sweet dish made with tender shredded beef slowly cooked in a rich soy-based sauce infused with garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. The beef becomes incredibly tender as it cooks, absorbing the bold flavors of the sauce. Served over rice and topped with fresh garnishes, it’s a comforting and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 3 cups cooked rice

Instructions

  1. Place the beef chuck roast into the slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, beef broth, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours until the beef is very tender.
  5. Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  6. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir it into the sauce.
  7. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to form a slurry.
  8. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker and cook for another 10–15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  9. Serve the Korean beef over cooked rice.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or chili paste to the sauce.
  • Vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers can be added during the last hour of cooking.
  • This beef also works well served in lettuce wraps or with noodles.
