This Best Slow Cooker Korean Beef is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish featuring tender beef cooked in a savory-sweet garlic and ginger sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep, it pairs wonderfully with rice or vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a slow cooker, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Add the beef and stir to coat evenly with the sauce.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender.
  4. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to form a slurry.
  5. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker and cook on high for an additional 20–30 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
  6. Serve hot over rice or vegetables, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
  • You can substitute honey for brown sugar for a natural sweetener.
  • Adjust the spice level by increasing or omitting the red pepper flakes.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
