Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef (flank steak or chuck, thinly sliced) Opt for flank steak or chuck for the best flavor and tenderness.
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets Use fresh broccoli; frozen may become mushy.
- 1/2 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar

- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)

Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by slicing the beef against the grain into thin strips for tenderness.
- Wash the broccoli and set it aside.
Create the Sauce
- In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the sugar is dissolved.
Load the Crock Pot
- Place the sliced beef in the crock pot and pour the sauce over it. Stir to coat all beef strips evenly.
Cook
- Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours or high for about 3 hours. Cooking on low is recommended for more tender meat.
Add Broccoli
- In the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets.
- If you want the sauce thicker, mix cornstarch with a little water and stir it into the sauce just before serving.
Serve
- Over cooked rice or noodles, spoon the beef and broccoli mixture. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
