Slow Cooker Sticky Soy-Garlic Beef

Ingredients

• 1 kg beef chuck (Cut into bite-size chunks)
• 1 tbsp neutral oil (For browning; optional)
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.5 cup beef broth
• 0.25 cup honey or brown sugar (Choose honey or brown sugar)
• 4 garlic (Cloves, minced)
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger (Grated; optional)
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp cold water
• spring onions (Sliced, for garnish; optional)
• sesame seeds (For garnish; optional alternative to spring onions)

Steps

1. 1

   If browning the beef, heat the neutral oil in a skillet. Brown the beef in batches, then transfer it to the slow cooker.

2. 2

   Whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, honey or brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar.

3. 3

   Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.

4. 4

   Cover and cook on Low for 6–8 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender.

5. 5

   Whisk the cornstarch with the cold water to make a slurry. The source lists these ingredients but does not specify when or how to use them; this is the minimal connective preparation.

6. 6

   Garnish with sliced spring onions or sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

The source lists cornstarch and cold water but does not explain how or when to incorporate them. It also does not specify an exact browning time or a serving quantity for the optional garnish.
