Instructions
In the insert of a 6-quart crock pot, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the crock pot. Toss the beef in the liquid mixture so it’s fully coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 5 hours.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
Pour the cornstarch mixture into the crock pot, stirring well to combine.
Add the frozen broccoli florets on top of the beef and sauce. Gently stir so the broccoli is mixed in.
Replace the lid and cook on low for another 30 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and the sauce is thickened.
Serve hot over a bed of warm, fluffy white rice.
