Slow Cooker Korean Beef is a tender, flavorful dish made with chuck roast simmered in a savory sauce of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and Sriracha. The beef becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfect for serving over steamed rice. Minimal prep with maximum flavor, this dish is perfect for busy nights or when entertaining guests.

 

Ingredients

For the Sauce:

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp ginger, minced

1 tbsp sesame oil

2 tbsp rice vinegar

2 tsp Sriracha (or more to taste)

For Serving:

1–2 tbsp cornstarch

Green onions, for garnish (optional)

Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Beef:
    Cut the chuck roast into bite-sized pieces and place them in the slow cooker.

  • Make the Sauce:
    In a bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and Sriracha. Adjust the Sriracha to your desired spice level.

  • Combine the Beef and Sauce:
    Pour the sauce over the beef in the slow cooker and stir to coat the beef evenly.

  • Cook the Beef:
    Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and shreds easily with a fork.

  • Thicken the Sauce:
    Once the beef is cooked, remove it and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with a little water, then stir it into the sauce in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

  • Serve:
    Return the beef to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Serve the Korean beef over steamed rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

You can add vegetables like carrots or bell peppers to the slow cooker for added flavor and nutrition.

For a spicier dish, increase the amount of Sriracha or add chili flakes.

If you prefer a different cut of beef, brisket or short ribs are great alternatives.
