Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef flank steak
- 0.5 cups soy sauce
- 0.25 cups hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Cut the beef flank steak into large chunks or leave it whole if preferred.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, beef broth, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Place the beef in the crock pot and pour the sauce mixture over the meat, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the crock pot sauce and stir well to thicken the sauce. Let it cook on high for an additional 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the shredded beef to the crock pot and mix it with the thickened sauce.
Serve over steamed rice, noodles, or with roasted vegetables. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
