Place the diced steak into the crock pot.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1/2 cup soy sauce, and 1 cup beef broth until the brown sugar is dissolved.

Pour the sauce mixture over the steak in the crock pot.

Cover the crock pot and cook on high for about 3 hours or on low for 5 to 6 hours.

After 3 hours, check the beef for tenderness; it should fall apart easily when stabbed with a spatula.
