Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef flank steak
• 0.5 cups soy sauce
• 0.25 cups hoisin sauce
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef flank steak into large chunks or leave it whole if preferred.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, beef broth, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 3

Place the beef in the crock pot and pour the sauce mixture over the meat, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Step 4

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

Step 5

Once cooked, remove the beef from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the crock pot sauce and stir well to thicken the sauce. Let it cook on high for an additional 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Return the shredded beef to the crock pot and mix it with the thickened sauce.

Step 8

Serve over steamed rice, noodles, or with roasted vegetables. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
