Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- Soft tortillas for serving

Instructions
- Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and place it in the slow cooker.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the marinade sauce.
- Pour the marinade mixture over the beef roast, ensuring the meat is completely coated and submerged in the liquid.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low heat for 8 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and easily shreddable.
- After 8 hours, carefully remove the beef from the slow cooker and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
- Using two forks, shred the beef, discarding any remaining large pieces of fat.
- Pour some of the remaining cooking liquid over the shredded beef to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Warm the soft tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
- Fill each tortilla with the shredded Korean-style beef.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Korean beef soft tacos.
Tips
- • For maximum flavor, marinate the beef overnight in the refrigerator before slow cooking if time permits. • Choose a well-marbled chuck roast to ensure the most tender and flavorful results. • Don't discard the cooking liquid – it's liquid gold! Use it to keep the meat moist and add extra flavor. • If you prefer a bit of heat, add some gochujang or red pepper flakes to the marinade. • For the best texture, shred the beef while it's still warm. • Warm your tortillas just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy. • Experiment with additional garnishes like pickled vegetables or a quick kimchi for an authentic Korean twist.
