Slow Cooker Korean Beef

I love getting the cheaper cuts of beef and slow cooking them to make them super tender. My family doesn’t miss the more expensive cuts for roasts if I cook them this way. For steaks you will want a more expensive cut such as sirloin, skirt, or flank. But, for this dish a bottom round roast is perfect.

Verdict: This had tons of flavor and lots of tender beef. We served it over rice with a side of broccoli but it would also be delicious over mashed potatoes or noodles. Thicken the sauce as much or as little as you like with cornstarch.
