Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it for about 4-5 minutes on each side until beautifully browned.
  2. Slow Cook the Beef: Transfer the seared beef chuck roast into your slow cooker. Add soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and gochujang. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
  3. Make the Gochujang Slaw: In a large mixing bowl, combine cabbage and carrots. Drizzle with rice vinegar and sesame oil. Toss until well coated and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Assemble the Tacos: After cooking, shred the beef and warm tortillas. Fill each tortilla with beef and top with gochujang slaw.
  5. Serve and Customize: Serve your tacos with optional toppings like avocado, cilantro, or sriracha for an extra kick.
