Slow Cooker Shaking Beef

Shaking Beef in a Slow Cooker is an easy and tasty take on a traditional Vietnamese dish. The slow cooker makes sure that the beef is soft and that the soy sauce, fish sauce, and garlic flavors soak into it. Finish it off with a quick sear in a hot pan to get that famous caramelized crust.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

Soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, and water should all be put into a slow cooker with the beef

For 4 to 6 hours, or until the beef is soft, cover and cook on low heat

To make a slurry, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl

Add the slurry to the slow cooker and stir it around

Cook on high for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sauce gets thicker

Put vegetable oil in a pan and heat it over high heat

Move the beef from the slow cooker to the skillet with a slotted spoon, shaking off any extra sauce

Allow the beef to brown and form a crust by cooking it in batches for two to three minutes at a time

Put green onions and sesame seeds on top of the hot beef and serve it over rice or noodles
