Let’s cook.

Place the beef in the slow cooker. Add the beef stock, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is very tender.
Transfer the beef to a plate and shred it with two forks. Skim excess fat from the cooking liquid, if needed.
Whisk the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker, cover, and cook on high for 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Return the shredded beef to the sauce and stir to coat. Serve over rice and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.

From Justin’s kitchen

Chuck roast gives the best tender texture. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze them with the sauce for up to 3 months.
