Ingredients
2.5–3 lb chuck roast
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
1 tablespoon neutral oil (for searing)
Instructions
1. Heat neutral oil in a skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned.
2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
3. Transfer the seared roast into a slow cooker or leave it in the Dutch oven. Pour the sauce over the meat.
4. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
5. Shred the beef into the sauce. Let it sit for a few more minutes to absorb flavor.
6. Serve hot with steamed rice, noodles, or lettuce wraps. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
Use chuck roast for best results as it becomes incredibly tender when slow-cooked.
Adjust the red pepper flakes depending on your spice preference.
Leftovers can be frozen and reheated for up to 3 months.
