Ingredients

  • 1 lbs. flank steak
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 1 scallion
  • ½ cup reduced salt soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Thinly slice your flank steak against the grain (this makes it nice and tender), then dice it into smaller bite-sized pieces. Toss it in cornstarch along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Layer it in the slow cooker. Add a little oil to the bottom of the slow cooker, then layer in the beef.
  • Stir in minced garlic and ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and a bit of water. Give it a good mix so everything’s coated.
  • Cook on high for 2.5 hours or low for 4–5 hours. The sauce will thicken and the beef will become super tender.
  • Top with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, and serve it hot over steamed rice.
