Ingredients
Beef rump roast, 3 to 4 lbs.
3 cups Beef broth
1 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
½ cup Brown sugar
4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons Sesame oil
3 limes Fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons Sriracha
Cooked jasmine rice, for serving
Green onions, sliced
Directions
In a 6-quart slow cooker, combine beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, lime juice, and sriracha. Stir until sugar dissolves and ingredients are well blended. Place the beef roast in the slow cooker and submerge it in the sauce mixture, turning to coat all sides. Cover and cook on high for 5 to 6 hours, until the beef is very tender and shreds easily with a fork.
Turn off the slow cooker and remove the lid. Let the beef rest uncovered for about 15 minutes. Using a spoon, carefully skim excess fat from the surface of the sauce, leaving just a thin layer. Shred the beef into bite-sized pieces using two forks, breaking it apart directly in the sauce. Stir gently to combine the shredded beef with the sauce.
Serve the shredded beef and sauce over a bed of cooked jasmine rice. Garnish generously with sliced green onions. Enjoy hot.
Comments
This hits most marks for a Charlotte weeknight: beef, broth, soy sauce, and garlic are everywhere at Harris Teeter or Walmart, and sesame oil lives at Food Lion or Kroger banners without drama. Cost per serving runs around $2.50–$3.00 for the beef and rice, leaning toward the reasonable end. The real issue is that 500 minutes (eight hours) is slow-cooker active time, not a statement—you dump and ignore, which works for a busy day, but the prep time claim buries the fact you're committing your cooker for the whole afternoon. Reheats beautifully, feeds six generously, and needs zero attention once it starts, making it a solid choice for meal prep or a slow weekend cook when you know your schedule; it's not a last-minute dinner-in-an-hour recipe despite the simplicity.
