Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef chuck or flank steak
- 1 cup beef broth
- 0.5 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.33 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 4 cups cooked white rice or brown rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, cutting against the grain for tenderness.
In the crock pot, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic until well combined.
Add the sliced beef to the crock pot and stir to ensure the beef is fully coated in the sauce.
Set the crock pot to low and cook for 4 hours, or until the beef is tender and infused with flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the crock pot and stir well to thicken the sauce.
Add the fresh broccoli florets to the crock pot, mixing gently to coat them in the sauce. Cover and cook on low for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.
Serve the beef and broccoli hot over cooked rice, if desired, and enjoy!
