1 piece ginger, the size of two thumbs
1 head garlic, peeled and crushed
2 bay leaves
1 Korean green chili pepper
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds, roasted in a pan
2 tbsp chopped scallions/green onion springs
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
In a 3-quart crockpot, combine beef, half of the onion, bay leaf, soy sauce, water and sugar. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. When tender, add ginger, remaining onion, garlic and chili pepper, change setting to high and cook for 30 minutes. Mix in sesame oil and top with sesame seeds and scallions before serving. Mangia!
