Korean Tacos - Slow Cooker Recipe

 3-4 pounds beef roast (I used a trimmed chuck roast)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup soy sauce (La Choy and Tamari Wheat-Free are gluten free)

1 head garlic (peeled, but leave cloves intact--approx 10 cloves)

 1/2 onion,sliced thinly and sauteed until soft

1 inch fresh ginger root, peeled and grated

2 tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 whole jalapeno, diced (or serrano if you want it a bit hotter)

The Directions.

Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Soften the onions first - it softens the overwhelming onion flavor.

Cover, and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat has fully shredded--- you can help it out by cutting the meat into pieces an hour or so before serving time. Serve in soft corn or flour tortillas with shredded cabbage salad and white or brown rice.
