Slow Cooker Korean Beef
The secret to Slow Cooker Korean Beef's success lies in its perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors, which are achieved through a blend of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. When these ingredients are combined with tender flank steak and slow-cooked to perfection, the result is a melt-in-your-mouth meal.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak
- ¼ cups cornstarch
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp minced garlic cloves
- 1/2 cups soy sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- ¾ cups brown sugar
- 1/4 cup onion chopped
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the flank steak into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick. Place the flank steak pieces in a large ziplock bag and add the cornstarch. Seal the bag and shake it until the steak pieces are evenly coated with cornstarch.
- In a slow cooker, combine the sesame oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, diced onion, and red pepper flakes. Stir to mix the ingredients well. Add the cornstarch-coated flank steak to the slow cooker and stir again, making sure the steak pieces are evenly coated in the sauce.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours until the beef is cooked through and tender.
- Once the cooking time is complete, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. If desired, serve the slow-cooker Korean Beef over rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
