Variations & Tips
For a bit of heat, add a tablespoon of gochujang (Korean chili paste) to the sauce before cooking. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, try adding a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar. You can also add sliced onions or bell peppers to the slow cooker for extra vegetables and flavor. For a low-carb option, serve the beef in lettuce wraps or over cauliflower rice.
