Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups cooked white rice (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Trim excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into 4-5 large portions, ensuring it fits comfortably in your crock pot.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes to create the sauce.
Step 3
Place the beef round steak pieces into the crock pot and pour the sauce mixture evenly over the top. Use a spoon to ensure the sauce coats the beef on all sides.
Step 4
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Step 5
Once the beef is cooked, transfer it to a plate and shred lightly using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker, allowing it to absorb the sauce for an additional 10-15 minutes on the warm setting.
Step 6
To thicken the sauce, mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until smooth. Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot and let the sauce cook for another 5-10 minutes until thickened.
Step 7
Serve the shredded beef over cooked white rice, if desired. Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
