Beef and Broccoli Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Sirloin steak or boneless beef chuck roast, sliced thin
  • 1 cup Beef broth
  • 1/2 cup Low sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 4 tablespoons Water

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.
