📝 Ingredients You’ll Need
🥩 Beef
• 1kg Beef Chuck Roast, sliced into thick strips
(Chuck roast is ideal because it becomes tender during slow cooking.)
🍯 The Sauce
• ½ cup Soy Sauce
• ⅓ cup Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, grated or minced
This combination creates the signature sweet, salty, and aromatic glaze.
🌽 Thickener
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
(Mixed into a slurry to thicken the sauce at the end.)
🌿 Garnish
• Fresh chopped parsley
• Sesame seeds
These add freshness, crunch, and visual appeal.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Beef
Place the sliced beef chuck into your slow cooker. Arrange evenly for consistent cooking.
2. Mix the Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and ginger until fully combined.
Pour the sauce over the beef, making sure all pieces are coated.
3. Slow Cook to Perfection
Cook on:
• LOW: 7–8 hours
or
• HIGH: 4–5 hours
The beef should become fork-tender and infused with flavor.
4. Thicken the Sauce
Once cooked, mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry.
Stir it into the slow cooker and cook for an additional 10–15 minutes until the sauce becomes thick and glossy.
5. Finish & Garnish
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and sesame seeds before serving.
