Directions:
Place the thinly sliced beef in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
Cook on low for 4 hours or until the beef is tender.
About 30 minutes before serving, whisk together cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
Add the broccoli florets to the slow cooker. Continue cooking on low for an additional 30 minutes or until the broccoli is cooked to your liking.
If desired, garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve over white rice.
Tips and Variations:
Convenience: Use frozen broccoli florets as a time-saving alternative.
Sweetness Level: Adjust the brown sugar to suit your taste. For a less sweet version, reduce the sugar or add more if needed.
Protein Choices: While I prefer beef chuck roast, flank steak or pre-cut stir-fry beef can also be used.
Spicy Twist: For added heat, consider topping with sriracha or red pepper flakes for a delightful kick.
Veggie Options: Not a fan of broccoli? Substitute with baby carrots, bell peppers, or snap peas for a vegetarian twist.
