Ingredients
For the beef
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast Trimmed of excess fat
- 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha Optional, for heat
For serving
- 8 small tortillas
- Fresh cilantro For garnish
- Lime wedges For serving
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by trimming any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cutting it into large chunks for even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, beef broth, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using) to create the marinade.
- Place the beef pieces in your crockpot and pour the marinade over the top, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Cooking
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the beef is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
- Remove the beef from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crockpot and stir to mix it with the sauce.
Assembly
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until they become pliable, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Assemble your tacos by placing a generous amount of the Korean beef onto each tortilla. Top with green onions, cilantro, and any other toppings desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
