Slow-Braised Honey Garlic Beef

Ingredients

• 2.5 lb chuck roast
• salt (to season the roast)
• black pepper (to season the roast)
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 3 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 10 cloves garlic (diced)
• 1 tbsp chili flakes
• white rice (for serving; amount not specified)
• chili oil (for topping; amount not specified)
• sesame seeds (for topping; amount not specified)
• green onion (for topping; amount not specified)

Steps

1. 1

   Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season it with salt and black pepper; the source does not specify amounts.

2. 2

   Sear the seasoned roast until it develops a golden crust.

3. 3

   In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, brown sugar, diced garlic, and chili flakes until combined.

4. 4

   Place the seared chuck roast in a slow cooker and pour the sauce over it.

5. 5

   Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the beef is tender and pulls apart easily. The audio transcript gives a range of 4–5 hours; the written description specifies 4 hours.

6. 6

   Serve the beef over white rice. Top with chili oil, sesame seeds, and green onion.

Notes

The source does not specify amounts for the seasoning or serving accompaniments, nor does it state a slow-cooker model, searing method, or temperature. Follow the written description's 4-hour cook time; the audio says 4–5 hours.
