Slow Cooker Sesame Beef

• •
  0.5 cup Soy Sauce, Low Sodium
• •
  0.3 cup Brown sugar
• •
  2 Garlic(6g)
• •
  0.5 tbsp Ginger, Fresh Root
• •
  1 tsp Sesame Oil, Toasted
• •
  2 lbs Beef Roast
• •
  6 Green Onion (Scallion)(90g)
• •
  1 tbsp Cornstarch
• •
  1 tbsp Sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1Mince the 2 cloves of garlic and grate the fresh ginger. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2. 2Slice 3 of the green onions into 1.5-inch sections; thinly slice the remaining 3 green onions and set aside for garnish.
3. 3Place the 2 lbs beef roast in the slow cooker. Scatter the sliced green onion sections over the beef, then pour the soy sauce mixture over everything.
4. 4Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the beef is very tender and pulls apart easily.
5. 5Remove the beef and shred or slice it into bite-sized pieces. Return the meat to the slow cooker and stir to coat with the sauce.
6. 6In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 1 Tbsp of the warm cooking liquid until smooth to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker, then cook on high, uncovered, for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
7. 7Stir in the sesame seeds. Divide the beef and sauce evenly into meal-prep containers and top each with the reserved sliced green onions. Let cool before sealing and refrigerating.
