Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup hoisin sauce
• 0.75 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 4 stalks green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
• 2 cups carrots, sliced into rounds
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer the beef to the crock pot.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger.

Step 4

Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the crock pot.

Step 5

Add sliced carrots, red bell pepper, and the white parts of the green onions to the crock pot. Stir slightly to combine.

Step 6

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

Step 7

Remove the beef from the crock pot and shred with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crock pot.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Stir the slurry into the sauce in the crock pot to thicken it. Let cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on high.

Step 9

Garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 10

Serve hot over steamed rice or cooked noodles.
