Slow Cooker Korean Beef
In the base of a slow cooker combine soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil and garlic chili paste. Stir together until completely combined.
Add the beef and toss to coat. You can also slice in half lengthwise to create two short pieces of beef and arrange in the slow cooker.
Cook on LOWEST setting for 6-8 hours. *keep an eye on the beef during the last 2 hours of cooking.
Remove beef from slow cooker to a large bowl. Shred with two forks or an electric hand mixer. Toss with remaining cooking liquid.
Serve in lettuce leaves, topped with cucumber, carrots and radishes and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
CAUTION:
Keep an eye on this during the last 2 hours of cooking. If the liquid over-reduces, add some additional water or stock to the pot.
This recipe has a moderate spice. Reduce the garlic chili paste to reduce/eliminate any spiciness.
