Ingredients
Scale
Beef Cubes
- 2 pounds high-quality chuck or sirloin beef cubes
Honey
- 1/2 cup honey
Garlic
- 4 cloves fresh or minced garlic
Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cutting the beef into cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking. Next, mince the garlic and gather all the other ingredients. This will make the cooking process go smoothly and efficiently.
- Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic until well combined. This will be the savory glaze that infuses the beef with flavor.
- Combine in the Slow Cooker: Place the beef cubes in the slow cooker and pour the honey garlic sauce over the top, ensuring that each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
- Cook: Set your slow cooker to low and let the beef cook for about 6-8 hours, or until it becomes tender. For quicker cooking, set it to high for 3-4 hours. The slow cooking method allows the beef to absorb all the rich flavors.
- Thicken the Sauce: Once the beef is tender, mix a little cornstarch with water to create a slurry and stir it into the slow cooker. Let it cook for an additional 15 minutes to thicken the sauce before serving.
Notes
- Choose the Right Cut: Opt for tougher cuts like chuck for the best results with slow cooking.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Make sure there’s enough space in your slow cooker for even cooking.
- Let it Rest: After cooking, let the beef sit for a few minutes before serving to enhance tenderness.
- Adjust the Sweetness: Feel free to modify the amount of honey based on your sweetness preference.
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh garlic and high-quality soy sauce for the best flavor and aroma.
