🥢 Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 4–5 hours on low
Servings: 4–6

Ingredients:

• 1.5–2 lbs (700–900g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced across the grain

• 1 cup beef broth

• 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

• 1/3 cup brown sugar

• 1 tbsp sesame oil (optional)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced (or 1 tsp ground ginger)

• 1/4 cup cornstarch

• 2–3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

• Cooked white rice, for serving

• Sesame seeds and green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Add to slow cooker:
   Place sliced beef in the slow cooker.

2. Mix sauce:
   In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil (if using), garlic, and ginger. Pour over the beef.

3. Cook:

   • Low: 4–5 hours

   • High: Not recommended — the beef can overcook and get chewy.

4. Thicken the sauce:
   About 30 minutes before serving, mix 1/4 cup cornstarch with 1/4 cup water until smooth. Stir into the slow cooker.

5. Add broccoli:
   Add broccoli to the slow cooker at the same time as the cornstarch. Stir well. (If using frozen broccoli, rinse under warm water first to thaw slightly.)

6. Finish cooking:
   Let it cook for another 30 minutes on low, until the sauce thickens and broccoli is tender.

7. Serve:
   Spoon over cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if you like.
