Slice the flank steak or sirloin into thin strips.
In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar (or honey), cornstarch, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Place the sliced beef in the bottom of the slow cooker and pour the sauce over it, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Cover and cook on low for about 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender.
About 30 minutes before serving, add the broccoli florets to the slow cooker, stir them gently into the sauce, and cover again.

Once everything is cooked, give it a gentle stir and serve hot over rice or noodles.

For a well-rounded meal, serve over steamed jasmine or brown rice and pair with a cucumber salad for a refreshing side.
