Korean beef slow cooker

--package of beef short ribs (or pork!) 2 lb chuck roast cut in cubes or not. 

--1 cup soy sauce (La Choy and Tamari Wheat-Free are gluten free)

--1 cup brown sugar

--5 whole jalapeno peppers (Stefania used 10. Use what you think is appropriate for your family.)

--1/2 cup water

The Directions.

I plopped frozen solid beef ribs into the crockpot. Can sear

I then put the soy sauce, water and brown sugar on top, and threw in the WHOLE (don't cut them!) jalapenos on top.

If ribs frozen, Cook on high for an hour, then used a wooden spoon to smash them down further into the crock. Then I cooked on low for another 8 hours.

If you are out of the house all day, cook on low. When you get home, turn the ribs over so the other side gets fully saturated

3 pound chuck roast
3/4 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
5 cloves garlic
1 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Cucumber Slaw
1/2 hot house cucumber (the long skinny ones)
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
pinch of salt
crushed red pepper flakes to taste

To serve:
flour tortillas
fresh cilantro
Siracha

Directions:
In the bowl of a small food processor, pulse the garlic and ginger until finely chopped.

Place the chuck roast in the bottom of a crock pot. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the cooking liquid. Pour over the roast.

Set the crock pot to low and cook 8-10 hours. When ready to serve, remove the roast, and shred into bite-sized pieces.

Skim the fat off the top of the cooking liquid. Pour some of the liquid over the shredded meat and serve.

For the cucumber slaw, slice the cucumber as thinly as possible, using a mandoline if you have one. In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, salt, and red pepper flakes. Toss the cucumbers in the mixture and refrigerate overnight.

To serve, warm the tortillas and fill with the shredded meat, and top with cucumbers, cilantro, and Siracha to taste.
