Method
 

How to Make Glazed Sticky Beef Bites
  1. Pat your beef chuck roast cubes dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear beef cubes until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add chopped onion, cook until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add minced garlic and grated ginger for 1 minute.
  4. Return seared beef to the pot. Pour in soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir well.
  5. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover tightly, and reduce heat to low. Braise for 2-3 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  6. Whisk cornstarch with cold water to form a slurry. Pour into simmering sauce, stirring constantly until thickened.
  7. Serve beef bites over steamed rice or noodles, spooning sauce on top. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
