I absolutely love this recipe! The blogger at Damn Delicious has this one down. I have used other roasts with this other than chuck and the result is the same: always amazing. A few modifications I have made:
1) Adding more veggies to my pot: zucchini and red bell pepper slices
2) Mixing up a coconut brown rice that I cook in the slow cooker the last hour it cooks.

Coconut Brown Rice
- 1 1/2 cup brown rice (basmatic or jasmine)
- 1 can light coconut milk
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions for Coconut Brown Rice
In a pot or microwave dish, combine rice, milk, water, and salt. Cook on high until boiling. Either transfer mixture to slow cooker or continue to cook in pot. Reduce heat to low and cook until rice is tender (about 50-60 minutes). Fluff rice and serve.
The flavors of the Korean beef combined with the slight sweetness of the coconut milk pair beautifully.
