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.
