Ingredients

1 boneless beef chuck roast (3 to 3 1/2 lb)
1 cup Progresso™ beef flavored broth (from 32-oz container)
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 medium white onion, cut in 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
4 1/2 cups cooked rice
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seed

Steps

1

Spray 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Trim and discard excess fat and silver skin from beef roast; cut beef roast into 3 or 4 large pieces. Place in slow cooker.
2

In medium bowl, mix broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil and pepper. Add white onion chunks to slow cooker; pour broth mixture over beef and onions. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours or until beef is tender. Remove beef to cutting board; cool slightly, and shred into large pieces with fork.
3

Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat cornstarch and rice vinegar with whisk until smooth. Increase to High heat setting; beat in cornstarch mixture with whisk until completely blended. Return beef to slow cooker; cover and cook about 30 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
4

Spoon beef, white onions and sauce over rice; top with green onions, cilantro and sesame seed.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Trimming the beef roast of excess fat provides a desirable consistency of the thickened sauce without needing to skim off the fat.
tip 2
Reduced-sodium soy sauce may be substituted for soy sauce in this recipe, if desired.
tip 3
To toast sesame seed, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
