Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs beef flank steak or sirloin thinly sliced
  • 3 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger optional
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water for thickening
  • Cooked rice for serving
  • Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
  2. Add sliced beef to the crockpot and pour the sauce over it. Stir to coat evenly.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until beef is tender.
  4. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir it into the crockpot 30 minutes before serving to thicken the sauce.
  5. Add broccoli florets during the last 20–30 minutes of cooking; cover again to steam until bright green and tender-crisp.
  6. Serve hot over rice, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.
