Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds beef chuck (cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or grapeseed oil)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 stalks green onions (thinly sliced (green and light green parts))
  • 2-inch piece ginger (minced)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 stalk lemongrass (cut into thirds and pounded)
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the beef in the mixture and set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the beef until browned on all sides; transfer to the slow cooker.
