Description
Succulent pieces of beef slow-cooked with soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic for a melt-in-your-mouth dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds of flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the flank steak thinly against the grain.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly sear the beef slices for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Transfer the seared beef into the crock pot. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the beef, ensuring it’s well-coated.
- Toss in half of the chopped green onions and give it a gentle stir.
- Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
- Once the cooking time is up, mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry.
- Stir this slurry into the beef mixture; let it cook for an additional 15-20 minutes uncovered.
- Before serving, sprinkle the remaining green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
