Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear beef cubes for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to crockpot.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, low-sodium soy sauce, beef broth, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Pour over beef in the crockpot, ensuring all cubes are coated.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  4. About 15-20 minutes before serving, mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Stir into crockpot and cook on HIGH to thicken the sauce.
  5. Ladle the beef over cooked rice or mashed potatoes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
