In a small bowl whisk together flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge cut beef into flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour. Set aside.

In a medium sized skillet, add vegetable oil and warm up over medium heat. Once warm, brown (sear) beef in batches. Not need to fully cook meat, you just want to have a nice crust while cooking off the flour. Place seared beef in slow cooker.

In the same pot you cooked beef, add minced garlic, ginger, and white/pale parts of green onion. Cook until fragrant. Add lemongrass and red pepper flakes and cook until garlic begins to brown. Add chicken broth and stir bottom of scrape off any pan bits. Transfer mixture to slow cooker.

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and Sriracha. Add to slow cooker.

Cover slow cooker. Cook for 4-5 hours on high heat, or 6-8 hours on low heat. Stir in reserved green onions, or use green onions as garnish. Serve with rice, noodles or crusty bread.*If desired, strain out aromatics (lemongrass, ginger, garlic) from sauce. Returned strained sauce to beef before serving.
