Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 1/2 lbs beef flank steak, sliced thin
  • 3 cups broccoli florets

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water (for cornstarch slurry)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crockpot: Place the thinly sliced beef flank steak, soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic cloves into the crockpot. Stir gently to combine ingredients evenly.
  2. Cook the beef: Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours to allow the beef to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
  3. Thicken the sauce and add broccoli: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water until smooth to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the crockpot sauce. Add the broccoli florets on top, cover again, and cook for an additional 30 minutes on low to cook the broccoli and thicken the sauce.
  4. Serve: Once the broccoli is tender-crisp and the sauce has thickened, serve the beef and broccoli mixture hot over steamed rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Slice the beef thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
  • You can add a teaspoon of grated ginger for extra flavor if desired.
  • Adjust the brown sugar quantity to taste for sweetness.
  • Use fresh broccoli florets for the best texture; frozen can be used but may result in softer broccoli.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can increase the cornstarch slurry slightly.
