I love a good takeout meal, but I love it even more when my kitchen stays cool and the slow cooker does all the work. This sesame ginger beef is a staple in my house because the chuck roast becomes incredibly tender and flavorful after spending the day in a savory, sweet sauce.

It is the perfect choice for those busy weekdays when you want a hearty dinner waiting for you when you walk through the door. If you want to add some extra nutrition, feel free to toss in some broccoli or snap peas during the last hour of cooking.

🧺 Ingredients

2 3 pounds chuck roast, cut into 1 2 inch cubes
1/2 cup beef broth

3 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
4
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours until the meat is very tender.

In the final 30 to 45 minutes of cooking, whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl to create a slurry.
