Description

Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli is a comforting slow cooker dish made with tender beef strips, broccoli florets, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, and brown sugar, all simmered into a rich, savory-sweet sauce perfect over rice.


Ingredients

1 ½ pounds boneless beef chuck roast cut into ¼-inch strips

1 cup low-sodium beef broth

½ cup low-sodium soy sauce

 cup dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3 teaspoons minced garlic about 3 cloves

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 (12-ounce) bag frozen broccoli florets about 3 cups


Instructions

Make the sauce by whisking 1 cup low-sodium beef broth, ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce, ⅓ cup dark brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 3 teaspoons minced garlic together in a medium bowl.

Add 1 ½ pounds boneless beef chuck roast cut into ¼-inch strips to a 4-7-quart slow cooker and pour the sauce over, tossing the meat to fully coat it.

Cook on LOW for 2.5-3.5 hours. About an hour before it is done, remove ¼ cup of the sauce and whisk it in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Slowly stir this back into the slow cooker.

At the final 30 minutes of cook time, add 1 (12-ounce) bag frozen broccoli florets to the slow cooker and stir to incorporate. Cover and cook. This will leave the broccoli as crisp-tender, but if you would like the broccoli to be softer, you can partially thaw it prior to adding it to the slow cooker, or you can add it with 1 hour or 45 minutes left in the cook time.

Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve with white rice.
