Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by trimming excess fat from your beef shoulder and cutting it into 1½-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Place the beef pieces into the slow cooker and pour the mixed sauce over them. Stir gently to coat the beef evenly.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours.
  5. Once cooked, shred the meat in the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce. Serve over hot cooked white rice, garnished with scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
