Tender slices of beef slow-cooked in a savory-sweet garlic soy sauce with broccoli added at the end for the perfect texture. A takeout favorite made easy in your crockpot.
1.5 lbs flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
1 cup beef broth
½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
4 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons cold water
Optional: red pepper flakes or sriracha to taste
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
Place sliced beef in the crockpot and pour the sauce over it.
Cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2.5–3 hours.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir into the crockpot 30 minutes before end of cook time.
Add broccoli on top, cover, and cook for another 25–30 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
Stir everything gently, then serve over rice or noodles.
Add a kick with red pepper flakes or sriracha.
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days.
Best served with steamed rice or cauliflower rice.
