Instructions
Preparation
- Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and place it directly into the slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Pour this sauce mixture over the beef in the slow cooker, ensuring that it is well coated.
Cooking
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Cook for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Once the cooking time is up, remove the beef from the slow cooker. Keep the cooking liquid.
- Using two forks, shred the beef into bite-sized pieces.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
- Turn the slow cooker to high and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 10 minutes.
- Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker, mixing it with the thickened sauce.
Serving
- Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave.
- Fill each tortilla with the shredded beef mixture and top with cabbage, green onions, cilantro, and avocado slices.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra tangy kick.
