Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs beef chuck or flank steak, thinly sliced
3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp ground ginger
2 cups broccoli florets
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup water
Cooked white rice or noodles (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ground ginger for an irresistible Asian-inspired sauce.
2. Add to Crockpot: Place the thinly sliced beef chuck or flank steak into your crockpot. Pour the sauce over the beef and stir well to coat evenly. Cover and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours or high heat for 2-3 hours until the beef becomes tender and flavorful.
3. Prepare the Broccoli: About 30 minutes before serving, steam the broccoli florets until they are tender-crisp for a perfect bite.
4. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Add it to the crockpot and stir well. Let the sauce thicken for about 20-30 minutes.
5. Combine and Serve: Once the sauce is thickened, add the steamed broccoli and stir to combine all the flavors. Serve the savory beef and broccoli over warm, fluffy white rice or noodles for a satisfying and complete meal.
